I started 20:4 IF two weeks ago. I started at 244.5, then dropped down to 240 and am back up to 243.5. I’m trying to eat 1200-1500 calories/day so I felt like when I was at 240 I was on track but when I checked today I was shocked to be 243.5. Any thoughts on advice?
Edit: two words
The advise is to keep at it, don’t worry about the scale for now. If you’re in a caloric defecit and you’re staying active you WILL loose weight.
Don’t weigh yourself until April 1st. Good luck
Also: always weight yourself in the morning before any food/drink and after going to the bathroom.
Either weigh yourself every day to track fluctuations and downward trend, or weigh in once a week and just write the number down.
If you’re a woman, there is a LOT that can fluctuate your weight on any given day. Just hang in there and keep going, you’ll see a downward trend as long as you remain consistent.
