Fast your way to Weight Loss

March 28, 2024

Yes, you can lose weight quickly!

We’ve found there are many ways to lose weight, and intermittent fasting is one of them. It’s not for everyone, and best done with medical supervision, but this is one way to lose a drastic amount of weight quickly. For those that do, the real problem is actually keeping the weight off.

Your Why

Since the idea is to less frequently, this is a huge change in your eating habits. As we all know, old habits die hard, and new habits don’t stick around unless they have a good reason; this is why you can lose weight for that Christmas photo, then gain it all back before the New Year.

The reason to lose a drastic amount of weight quickly must be stronger than the temporary thrill. Without that, you end up with one of the worst-case scenarios: a Yo-Yo diet, where you lose and gain weight constantly, and hurt your body in the process.

Your How

Once you have a why, you can work on your how. There are many ways to fast sustainably while losing weight. You can take the One Meal A Day (OMAD) route, where you have short open window to eat any (reasonably healthy) meal a day, and then stop.

If OMAD is not disco enough, you can alternate between a day of normal eating, followed by a day of fasting. Or you can do two meals a day, and mix it up into a pattern that naturally fits into your existing lifestyle and demands.

Your Support

The biggest obstacle with intermittent fasting, is that most people’s lives don’t work that way; your 9–to-5 job will expect you at 100%, as will your family and friends off the clock. The best way to do this is over a holiday or vacation break, when there is already a reduced demand on your energy levels.

The final piece to this is making it stick—and that means you can’t go back to your old eating habits. Instead, you use the fasting diet as a new foundation, and then add or remove foods depending on your day. Changing your habits, ultimately, is how you lose weight and keep it off.
