I could never fast. I could diet and control how much I eat, but not fast. I'm too hungry sometimes, man, it's torture.
I ate some chicken nuggets and coffee in the morning, was ~400-500 calories. That kept me going till 5:30.

But today was a more lax day. Past few days I’ve had nothing but a sugar free coffee for breakfast and then a protein shake for lunch.

I think doing that has really helped me eat less.

Were those the only two things that you ate for the day or did you manage to grab dinner too?

I wouldn’t recommend you to do this daily . Your body actually has went to starvation mode that’s why you are no longer hungry .

I would suggest you to consult dietician to optimise your food intake also I would suggest you to do HIIT to burn the calories .

I had dinner. It wasn’t very healthy. The synagogue I go to has a free snack bar. They have cake, chips, guacamole, cheese, etc.

That’s one of the few social events I attend in the week, so I didn’t really feel like dieting that evening.

In any case tho I lost a pound that day so I think I’m probably doing alright.

I try to moderate my calorie deficit so that I don’t lose more than 3 pounds a week. Tho usually I feel like I have been losing 1 lb on average.

Some weeks I even plateau, but I have still had a significant monthly weight drop for the past few months. Think I’ll keep doing that till summer of 2025.

Thanks to my knee injury i haven't been able to do kickboxing all summer or run and my weight loss has plateud. I still lift consistently and do whatever cardio i can but i'm gonna be a little more strict on the diet this month to drop these last few ponds.
I'm currently 83-82 kg but i would wanna be 79-78 ideally.
Are you able to do leg day? Hope your knee is soon fixed.

Thank you
Yeah, i don't do squats and leg press because i don't want to put too much weight on the knee yet but i do other stuff for the legs. The doctor specifically told me that strengthening the legs can help with the recovery.
Yeah same, I had knee pain from being heavy and having a bad form when getting up from kneeling in my job and my doctor friend told me to strenghten the quadriceps.

Made the comment in the General Discussions thread but I'm going to start running on the treadmill again.

Made 6 miles yesterday before stopping.

Always room for improvement.

I did a couple of other runs after that one but breaking the thousand calorie mark is still tough.

There's still room for improvement though since cutting 5 to 10 minutes in a 100 min. run can usually be done by running at a steady pace for a bit longer before stopping for a break.

Some speedrunning never hurts though, running 1 or 2 miles for time and then attempting to reduce the time it takes to run those distances.
