I will add, once I reach my target weight, then I would just try to stay in the daily caloric allowance eg. 2400 or so (combined with some form of exercise). Fasting is just a rapid way to lose weight and in my case above it's not crazy, you're still eating daily, not starving yourself for days on end. And for me it helps me keep my energy levels up/focus by delaying eating. Regarding my binge eating (fast food) habit that's my "exciting thing" on the weekend with some shows, I can still do that however not "fast food". For example I usually would buy/eat: - a large quarter pounder deluxe meal (burger and fries) - a fish fillet sandwich - a mcchicken, a mcdouble - large shake/or caramel frappe I think when I binge like that it's 3000-5000 calories in one shot. That's why my weight gain is so rapid/bad. I would do that a few times in a week of different chains. So in order to still have "fun" on the weekends, I will get some prepared/frozen meal like those skillet pasta... I'm not saying it's much better... but that's my junk food avoidance/fun food. Otherwise I usually eat the same thing everyday: fiber bar snack, then rice, chicken, frozen veggies meal (only because I don't like cooking).
