Hi, I’m a new poster, but I’ve probably been doing some form of intermittent fasting since May, 2022.
Originally, when the pandemic started, I was probably around 188lbs. I dieted and worked out until I hit 175, and then started IF/OMAD. I’m now nearing 155lbs, with my goal being something like 150lbs.
My question is– what do I do when I get there? Do I maintain IF? My worry is that if I continue I’ll continue to lose more weight. If I jump back to 2 meals a day (I’ve never really done 3 meals a day since adulthood), will I start gaining weight? At this point, my body is fairly used to eating only once a day, and I don’t know if I care to go back to eating twice a day.
Currently, I haven’t been working out as much as I was before (work has kept me from doing so), so the majority of the weight loss I’ve had since May 2022 is from IF.
Thanks in advance!
Congratulate yourself.
Try and eat low GL/GI foods.
Two healthy meals a day when you are not trying to lose weight anymore,16:8 or even 14:10 is more than enough.
Maintain a healthy relationship with food.
