It's been a month since I began only eating one meal a day, and I thought I'd share my weight changes
Week 0: gained 6 lbs (this inspired me to only eat one meal a day)
Week 1: lost 9 lbs.
Week 2: lost 6 lbs
Week 3. gained 3 lbs
Week 4: lost 10 lbs
I think week 3 was water weight. I'm not sure what to do. I could buy water pills or just accept that I might gain weight once in a while but that it will probably reverse by the next week and it will all average out in the end and not sweat it.
@redmaple @Scubbie I was already doing intermittent fasting before to maintain a healthy weight, but lowered it to one meal a day after I gained 6 lbs.
I haven't noticed a drop in energy or productivity, so I might as well keep doing this until I get back to my military weight, which I never thought I'd be again.
This is honestly pretty effortless. Eating once instead of having a 4-hour "window" is easier to track anyway.
@Scubbie No, I never remember to do those. I even tried using ankle weights to "remind myself" to do them, and I just don't.
I still work out 3X a week, and I do the heel pushups when I feel like it.
