I think water fasting can be pretty good or juice fast. But you dont want to do it too often cus you still need nutrition for your body. So ultimatly you have to change diet for life. Otherwise you eill gain weight back and will be stuck in this up and down circle.

• You might be better off focusing on sustainable nutrition first. Doesn't have to be perfect. Just slowly incorporate healthier/unprocessed food. Especially for the times when you don't need a great amount of energy. For instance, before bed, you might benefit from eating more dense & satiating foods (high in healthy fats, protein, &/or fiber) that have a lower glycemic load (to control/stabilize hunger hormones).

• You may benefit from intermittent fasting. I recommend doing it overnight. Doctors say to start slowly. And it will be easier to do when your hormones are stabilized from the satiating food I mentioned above.

• Start counting your calories. I use an app called "myfitnesspal." It's especially good for logging foods with barcodes. Your goal should be to get a general idea of what your caloric deficit would be & to start slowly reducing caloric intake while having the recommended levels of micro & macronutrients. For instance, protein should be prioritized even more if you're trying to lose weight than if you were training.

^ For sustainability, they say not to reduce more than 500 calories in a day. And ideally, slowly drop the weight. But you'd need to be able to keep it off for a few months to move your bodyweight setpoint to a lower place in a reliable manner.

• Steady-state cardio should be a major part of your workouts. 20 minutes a day will get you to the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week. Walking is a good way to start. Ideally, do it after any type of strength training.

Fasting for weight-loss as in intermittent fasting?

I’ve done that before and got some good results. Basically, you will want to eat within a 4-8 hour window. So, if you normally have all your meals spread out, you’d eat them all within this 4-8 hour window instead. The remaining 16-20 hours will need to be free of calories. Ideally, just water and maybe tea. No sugar or snacks. All your calorie-containing foods should be eaten during your 4-8 hour eating window.

Another thing that is important is your protein intake. Up to 25% of weight-loss can be muscle. If you want to minimize muscle loss while losing weight, you want to be eating enough protein and doing some strength-focused (as compared to cardio-focused) workouts. This will help keep your metabolism strong and give you toned muscles (instead of a bony look).

I hope that helps! Feel free to DM me if you have more questions. :)

Its all energy balance. Burn more or consume less. You can lose weight on a diet of just twinkies as long as your daily calorie intake is less than ehat you burn... I've lost 13lbs in two weeks by eliminating bread and carbs... drinking ONLY water, eating lots of meat protein and fiber and exercising at least 30 min a day. Mainly did it cuz my blood pressure is bad.

A HEALTHY and SAFE calorie defect (there are calorie calculators online to help determine your calorie intake) and intermittent fasting. Try to get some more movement in your day, too - even if it’s just a 15 minute walk!

Don't fast. That's not healthy. The best way to lose weight, is to just stick to a diet and exercise plan. If you give up too easily, you won't make it
