Over the past few months I lost 13 kg and my starting weight was 100 kg so I went down to 87 kg. Then the summer came and I gained 5 kg and now im planning to do rolling 72s down to 65-70 kg. My height is 175 cm, male. I was wondering how long do you guys think it will take for me to reach my goal
Trust the process! If you can do rolling 72’s then rock them until you’ve reached your goal. If you have to do 36’s or 48’s instead, then do those. Just STICK with it! Don’t get sidetracked. Get the weight loss done so you don’t get burnt out.
What’s helped my wife and I is to have a goal that’s 30 days out. “You can get through this month.”-kind of mentality. Really makes days when you feel tempted to break fast easier, reminding yourself how short a month is when looking back on it.
It depends….. I think when you do extended fasts, your activity levels determine whether you get a good result or a great result. If you are fit and can handle higher intensity exercise, then add it in, but not to the detriment of your fast. Long walks, low level cardio, low level weight lifting should be fine for most people. The longer you can go, the better. I see a lot of people saying they do 1-2hrs ‘cardio’ (walking) a day. Cole suggests this should lead to around 1lb loss every day.
I did rolling 72s and my metabolism/hunger imploded once I hit my goal weight and I gained all the weight back plus some. I think something less aggressive would be more sustainable like alternate day or 48s…..finding lower calorie options of your favorite foods to fill up on is also important; peanut powder vs peanut butter, turkey bacon instead of bacon, sugar free milk instead of sweetened, low cal margherita mix and tequila instead of sugar explosion margs or double IPA beer, shirataki noodles instead of angel hair pasta, find those substitutes that scratch that itch without racking up the calories. Other hacks would be to have an apple before your meal as well as drink a glass or two of water to negative calorie preload your meals. Cranking up your vegetable consumption will help you feel good while you lose weight; my hack is low sodium v8 because the salt/potassium ratio is great and you get vitamins/minerals all for less than 45 cals a glass.
