My fat loss experiment

I didn't use the word dangerous, I said it wasn't healthy. Of course if the water loss gets to a certain point, it can be dangerous.

For athletes especially, losing a lot of water in a short period of time is going to deteriorate performance. Cramping muscles, less fluid to carry essential electrolytes to the muscles and actually less blood volume, which decreases ability to uptake oxygen.

Please note that I specifically wrote "excess" water. No danger whatsoever in losing that at all.

Hi friends,

For the last couple of months, I've been experimenting with intermittent fasting. In line with this diet philosophy, I've been eating only two heavy meals a day (lunch and dinner), with some beverages in between.

The result: lost two inches off my waist in two months.

I am happy with the progress but am wondering if this progress is too slow. I know people who lose 3 inches in just one month. So are there people with experience in intermittent fasting - do u see it as a lifestyle thing or just a temporary diet to shed fat?

Your thoughts and insights will be appreciated. I still have two more inches to lose in my waist, and I hope Intermittent fasting can help.

People say the problem with aerobics is that it may burn muscle along with fat. So in the end you will lose fat but also muscle and so look unhealthy. Is it true? Is it better to do weights and eat less instead?
