Our Frequently Asked Questions topic will answer many of your fasting & weight loss questions!

If you're new and have a question or need some advice, please give us as much information as you can about your situation in order for us to be able to help you as best we can. For example, it's helpful to know your BMI/weight, how much you want to lose, any medical conditions which might affect your weight and (if you've started fasting already) how you do your fasts in terms of splitting up your calories, what you eat etc. Thanks!

Hello Everyone,
My name is Bobbie and I'm new to these forums. I'm currently doing an every other day fast. I'm almost through week 2 and haven't seen much of a difference in my weight / how my clothes fit or energy level. Trying to stick with it in hopes that my body is just getting used to it.
I've been doing a ton of reading about it and welcome any and all advice.
Thanks! Looking forward to learning more! :geek:

Hi Bobbie!

Hang in there! You might want to try just doing the traditional 5:2 and being careful about how you eat on the non-fast days. But, sometimes it does take a little while for it to kick in!

Glad to have you on the forum!

Had you been dieting before you tried intermittent fasting?

Are you eating plenty of calories on your feed days?
