If you're looking for just weight loss, I would caution against IF since it also seems to be a very emotional/spiritual process. If you're not ready to deal with your emotions it could send you into a bout of emotional eating just to quell the surge of feelings. At least that has been my experience...

Just the gradual recovery from the draining experience of yet another fast after @3 months of of twice-weekly fasting. I'm doing what I...

10stone 13lbs, 38 1/4" (later it was 38 1/2" still empty) Emotional ups and downs, I'm heavier than I was on Saturday, but lighter than I was last Monday. Fasting. Lets see how it turns out. 4:17pm Interesting - I've only just had a caffeinated drink today. I had such a good sleep last night - it w...

I watched the show last night, and read the old thread this morning - interesting stuff. The one thing that leapt out at me as plain wrong was the "don't skip meals" - I combine intermittent fasting with No S, which is definitely skipping meals, and it certainly does lead to weight-loss. I'm one of ...

Heavier/fatter than yesterday, but lighter than last Sunday. I ate very late after an emotionally difficult day. Feelings and food intertwine.

I don't want to have a hard time today. No big goal either, calm about it -...

Hi Berry, just stopping by to say "Hello". I was curious, you mention that you were "too successful" with No S last time round - how were you feeling in yourself apart from the "over-thin" look? I remember the first time I dieted, as a chubby teenager, and people started grabbing my shoulders and sa...

A slimmer waist makes yoga easier. I...

Well, there are plenty of interesting things being said here, some of which I'd like to comment on as the instigator of this thread: @ironsickel: If I was having this problem every weekend, I'd be looking hard at them. I'm not saying you should, time alone may fix your weekend excesses, but I wrote ...

11 stone 0 3/4 lbs, Waist 38 1/2" Thanks for the encouragement and reassurance LA Loser and KCCC ("the beatings will continue until morale improves" - loved it!) I will keep sticking to my current strategy, though I was thinking of one small modification: if I again see a large weight or waist gain...

No problem, good question, but no, that's not it, no issues of that sort for me.

Greetings. I really want to make sense of this: from Saturday morning to Monday morning I gained 5 1/4lbs and nearly an inch around my waist. Can anyone tell me what that gain consists of? If you need more details to make sense of it, see my daily check-in: http://everydaysystems.com/bb/viewtopic.ph...

Waist 38 3/4" Weight 11stone 0 1/2lbs So the *first fast with a negative outcome - weight static but I gained 1/8" waist. More of a mystery than any preceding Monday.

Hi Lainskie - if you're telling me you have regular access to tasty free food, then you have my sympathy - not sure I'd cope too well with that! One strategy you could try, though it's outside standard No S, would be to have a day or two when you simply don't eat (Intermittent Fasting, IF). It might...

Is portion control essential to weight management?

Can anyone explain this rapid weight/waist gain?
