Instead, I'm using the Every Other Day Diet variant of intermittent fasting which arguably is the best researched one. It helped me drop weight significantly in 2015 with little trouble (details: http://lukasz.langa.pl/9/i-lost-26-pounds-in-3-months/).
Sadly, since I stopped cycling regularly two years back and dropped the diet a year ago, I regained what I lost and then some. So I'm back on intermittent fasting now.
Recommendations based on my experience:
- weigh yourself daily in the morning, as the very second thing you're doing
- a Withings scale or similar helps putting this in a database efortlessly which helps seeing trends
- observe your moving average of 7 days
- eat just a light lunch (circa 500 kcal) every other day; it's easy to skip breakfast knowing there's going to be lunch soon and it's possible to skip dinner knowing "it's Eat Day tomorrow!"
- eat what you want on Eat Day but do it slowly, your body will quickly adapt to your fasts, the stomach will shrink and it's going to be easier to get full
- let people know you're losing weight and how, they will probably tell you you're more grumpy on Non-Eat Days
Good luck!
