I've had great success with a pretty severe dieting routine. I eat a reasonable (800-1,000 calories) dinner as my only meal but also allow myself a cappuccino in the morning and all the carrots, celery and fresh fruit I want throughout the day. The main benefit for me is that it does not take a lot of thought. I can drop 4 lbs a week this way without any apparent negative health effects.
For reference, I'm a 41 year old male, in good health, weighing just under 200lbs at 6'3". I'm a software/hardware engineer so I spend much of my day sitting indoors.
- MuffinFlavored 9y agohow sustainable is this?
- scottLobster 9y agoDoesn't have to be. As someone who's on a similar regimen, best part of the intermittent fasting is that once the body gets used to it you can stop/start at will. If my coworkers go out for lunch, so can I, even if it would technically violate my fasting period. Then I just go right back fasting the next day with no issue.

- jcoffland 9y agoA few weeks at a time when I need to lose some weight.
