4 months later - 75.8kg
It’s been more than four months since I stopped alternate day fasting. Time for an update. Over the xmas period, I ate and drank whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. I also didn’t go to the gym during December due to work commitments. All this didn’t seem to have an impact on my weight, and I’m happy to say that my weight continued dropped to 76kg. Since then, I have been going to the gym once or twice per week, but certainly don’t restrict my eating or drinking like I did when I was on the ADF diet.
I still want to get my weight down a bit more - maybe even as low as 70kg, but i’m not in any rush - I’m now quite slim, apart from a bit of a tummy. The main thing for me is that I’ve managed to find a balance in my lifestyle that allows me to enjoy eating, drinking and excercising without having to go to the extreme on any of them. I’m also a lot more active than I was 6 months ago. I think the main thing is that I made a conscious decision to make a change and acted on it - for me, going on an alternative day fast was the catalyst that allowed me to make it happen. Sure it was hard, but it set up some ground rules to follow and achieve.
