Started Fast 800 today

[ChoosingLife]

Starting Fast 800 today. Hoping to do 8 weeks to tackle visceral fat and get a break for this body! New to fasting recently, since fasting a fair amount a few years ago (7 day complete fast, 3 week Daniel Fast, and IF). I am interested if there is an upper limit of calories? Its LCHF Mediterranean diet from Michael Moseley book The Sugar Diet, also seems same approach as Fast 800 which aims for 12 weeks. I am not diabetic but have lots of tum fat and could do with losing 2 stone. I am also in weight loss community weighing in on a Monday.

Welcome aboard, Rach. Upper limit on calories? I don't know. I did it over Christmas and New Year, and celebrated both those occasions properly. I later explained to one the people I spent Christmas day with about my 8 hour eating window (I did not talk about diet on the day) and how I stuck to my window on Christmas day - and she laughed, because as she noted, I pretty well ate solidly for 8 hours, with bread and potato and 2 slices of pavlova 😋 with salted caramel. I did not log my food that day, just estimated the calories at 3000 😂.

A couple of days I went as low 500kcal, and on quite a few a went over 1200. I probably was only losing weight on the lower calorie days, but going over does not derail you, and may even make you more successful. It certainly makes it easier to stick to.

The high days are good to confuse your body. Metabolic confusion. I’m trying to adopt it so my body doesn’t plateau every 2 weeks.
