I quit. It didn’t work.

Answer

That’s a good weight loss. I’m not sure why you’re frustrated. In roughly 6 months, you will be at your ideal weight, and you didn’t even have to eat only carrot sticks and celery to accomplish it…You can even cheat multiple times, and still take off weight.

You are a success.

Answer

IF isn’t about quick weight loss as much as it is about being consistent and reaching long term results. It works better if you can fit it into a lifestyle not just for quick wins. Also, weight loss isn’t the best representation of body composition change, and slow weight loss when close to healthy bodyweight is more sustainable.

Remember that the trend for the next two years matters more than the trend for the next two months.

IDK it worked great for me but I also calculated my basal rate and calories of every meal, and ensured I was on a slight deficit most days. I was also pretty close to doing OMAD. If you aren’t on a caloric deficit you won’t lose weight very fast. If you want to eat more than your basal rate then take up an anaerobic exercise regime.

You also need to remember the body prioritizes healing problems you have then visceral fat so you might not have as much progress at first but the deeper in you go the more things will speed up. That’s what’s been happening for me.

Hi!

I had the SAME problem when I first started. I saw people posting their progress losing more weight in a few weeks than I did in a few months. It SUCKS. I still very much struggle with the fact I don’t see any of my progress despite losing 13lbs. I started in May and I’ve only barely lost .5-1lb a week since starting cardio in January.

It’s slow progress, but it’s still progress. I want to quit, badly at times. But in a year from now I can say I did what I could every day.
