if you are a healthy weight and you aren’t doing some sort of drastic calorie reduction, you shouldn’t expect weight loss.
If you want to lose those three kilos you’re going to have to do some austerity along with your fasting schedule. But the three miles to get you from 61 to 58 are way harder to lose than somebody trying to get from 100 kilos to 97, on the way to 85 kilos.
Try 18:6 or 20:4 but even at 16:8 you should start to see some changes, it may just take some time. Unless you’re doing body comp tests constantly or taking measurements/pics it’s hard to know what your body is doing exactly and the scale won’t differentiate between tissue types, bone, and water.
Honestly, throw in a 24hr fast. It’ll kick start weightloss again. Eat dinner one night then dinner the next and continue on your usual the following day. Do that a couple times in a week and you should start to see some movement again. Mix it up. For good measure, throw in a re-feeding day (more food) and don’t feel guilty about it. Think of it as refueling the metabolism & soul. Keeps the body on it’s toes!
Also, sometimes body takes time to lose weight, other times it takes its time to heal. If you just herniated a disc, it could be focused there. Also, flip it to 18:6. 🤷‍♀️ Or longer fasting periods. Also, take a look at what you’re eating in your window.
Very easy to be on a caloric surplus on 8:16 especially if you’re still sticking with the Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner concept. 4:20 is a better starting point. I’ve been doing 4:20 Meal-Dessert-Meal these past couple of days and am still on track and seeing fat loss everyday. My dessert would be half a pineapple. My calories would be 1400-1600 and am still feeling full every day.
