Can you lose weight from fasting if you have never done it before?

I was planning on fast from 10pm - 12pm. I'll only have lunch & dinner.

I walk 15,000 steps a day & do a 30 minute cardio workout.

Is this enough to lose 3kgs by Christmas day?

Don’t eat much if you want to lose weight. When you fast you must decrease your intake (but not too much or else you’ll have health problems) but to lose 3 kg in the course of 2 months? You will do it. I was able to lose weight real easy when I walked 15-20+k steps in Italy. Lost a few pounds but didn’t lose more as I ate a lot over there. You’ll lose weight though if you fast and exercise. But don’t do it to the point of making you go insane.

Thanks for this. I was in Italy this year also and some other parts of Europe. I did about 20k steps every day for 5 weeks. Didn't lose anything but didn't put anything on. Can only do 15k now cause of work. My weight hasn't shifted much since I've been back for 2 months. Finding it hard to give. up coffee so if I do fasting I can give it up that way.

Yes of course... and 3 kgs by Christmas is really easy

Just make sure you burn more calories than you intake, which is easy with fasting and doing the exercises you said above

Good luck!

Weight loss only occurs from a calorie deficit
