****Official 2013 Weight Loss Challenge**** (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=268338)

Made it 5 miles on the treadmill yesterday for the first time since I've started running again. Not a very clean 5 mile run, but better than nothing. I'll do 5 miles 3 times a week for the next 2 weeks, then maybe bump her up to 5.5 for a week or two before reaching my goal of 6 miles a time, 3 times a week.

What do you mean by 'replace the gut with muscle'? Losing fat and building new muscle at the same time is almost impossible unless you are either a beginner to lifting, or have assistance from drugs. It's a pretty simple formula, calories in vs calories out. Calories in < calories out, you lose weight, and vice versa. The one constant in your diet needs to be protein. The other macros you adjust depending on how active you are. Sedentary desk job, not much lifting, then lower the carbs and up the dietary fat. If you work out and lift a lot, lower the fat and increase carbs as your body cannot build new muscle in the absence of insulin. Its the body's most anabolic hormone next to testosterone and to avoid it while lifting is reeruned.

So you're saying cardio one day, weights the next won't make my gut smaller while building my arms and chest? I've already done this routine in the past and that's exactly what happened. I think you're over thinking this.

9 days in.....10 lbs down.

This is turning into a year of fail so far, for me. In the weight loss arena at least.

Whats the best IF strategy? 24 hrs eating and then 24 hrs fasting, or eating 8 hrs out of 24 like the hodge twins do?

The longer you can fast the better.

Tends to lose effectiveness after 36 hours though.

Cool, thanks. I tried IF for about a week before. Some days I could do it and some I couldn't get through more than a few hours before I had to eat.

I give myself a 6 hour eating window. I can eat between 2pm and 8pm.

Put on forty since Jan 1. Depression sucks guys and gals. Divorce, prison, go figure.

I used to do a version of Fasting where I would stop eating around 6 pm on Thursday night and then not eat til breakfast on Saturday morning, so I think it was just over 36 hours.

Once a week, fabulous results. I was a tub of lard though, so I don't know if the results are typical.

On another note, I already lost all the weight I gained this weekend. I must have been out of keto and retaining water because it's already all gone. 6L of water a day will flush you out.

Did you carb load at all?
