In that sense, it maybe the right time for your to consider the other ways of dieting (such as paleo) . Change might break the plateau. Good luck with your diet and hope you are start to make progress again. :) By the way, my name is Young.

I'm working my way up to it, rather than just going whole hog and jumping right in.<br /><br />I've also always been aware that diet is the key to weight loss. If you go back and read past blog entries, or I've even mentioned in the diet bet multiple times, that I believe weight loss is 80% diet and 20% fitness. I believe that fitness is an important component, but it's not actually necessary. However, since I've lost almost 90 pounds and have been on this journey for a while, fitness is now necessary for me to lose weight. I can't do it on diet alone, nor can I do it with exercise alone. I need to find a balance between the two that works for me to lose the last 20 pounds.Maiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299856527480587335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626041959313212356.post-22608847005788800732013-10-30T17:24:49.183-04:002013-10-30T17:24:49.183-04:00hi I am your fellow dietbet10 participant. :) I s...hi I am your fellow dietbet10 participant. :) I saw your blog address today in db10 board and that is how I end it up here. :) I became interested on IM recently and looked up some info regarding various flavor of IF. The lowest fasting hour per day from these various flavors of IF was 16 hours if I remember correctly. Hence, I think you should aim for that if you want to give it a try on IF. so your fasting will be 8PM - 12PM(on following day). I guess you can start with some break in period to reach that window but it seems like 16 hours of fasting are the minimum that one need to aim for IF. <br /><br />I'm sure you probably understand this but exercise has very small effect on weight loss. Your diet will be the key factor. I've heard that and seen that many people loose the weight solely based on diet alone. But, I've never seen people who lost substantial amount of weight (more than 15-20lb or more than 10% of pre-exercise weight) with exercise only. <br /><br />Eating very limited set of healthy food can be an option. It is painful to eat same thing over and over but it is doable. :) I've done that for last 4 month. :) I am doing SCD (slow carb diet) which are more restrictive than paleo. Hence, you are very limited to what you can eat (at least six days of week). But, it works out ok with my busy schedule and terrible cooking skill.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626041959313212356.post-10039349335318139222013-10-30T15:28:44.081-04:002013-10-30T15:28:44.081-04:00I think you're doing fantastic, considering th...I think you're doing fantastic, considering that you are literally living on the road out of a hotel room. That would be so challenging. <br /><br />I'm very curious to see how the fasting goes. I don't think I could do it, I get up around 6:00 AM and usually need to eat by 8:00 AM. I've read that it's best to eat 1-2 hours after getting up, and also that it's best to not eat 2-3 hours before bed. That's the hard one for me - by the time I work out in the evening, then make dinner, it's after 8:00 PM, and I try to get to bed between 10-11 PM. Good luck, let me know how it goes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09165425287089202800noreply@blogger.com
