Kris wrote: I have been on the diet nearly 8 weeks now; in that time I have lost about 5 lbs. In the past three weeks or so I have not lost anything -- but, one change I do notice is that I gain hardly any weight on the feast days, but lose hardly anything on the fast days.
My feast days vary from overeating, to normal eating (ha! whatever that is!).
I read that weight loss should be 1 lb per week, so it seems I am below average.
Measurements are slightly improved over starting measurements.
Shall I eat less on feast days? less on fast days?
I am quite small anyway and near my target weight.
Any advice most gratefully received!!
If you've reached "calorie equilibrium" the saving you make on your fast days matches the excess on your feed days.
If this is the case, then taking 200-300 calories off the feed days will restore a deficit equivalent to about 0.5 lb per week.
