Intermittent Fasting Results And Fat Loss Transformation Report #1

Intermittent Fasting Results And Fat Loss Transformation Report #1

Hey, It’s Matt with operationawesomelife.com. Today I’m going to shoot a video to talk to you guys about my intermittent fasting results and fat loss transformation.

[Video Transcript] I started my new intermittent fasting diet plan a little over 6 weeks ago on July 25th, 2016. Today is September 10th, 2016. At this point, in a little over 6 weeks, I have lost right at 12 pounds.  Below you can see my progress in My Fitness Pal.  I started at 176.4 on July 25th.  At the bottom of the picture, you can see my current weight as of September 9th.

I’m really happy and excited to report my intermittent fasting results thus far and that I’ve already been able to drop that much weight. Now even though I’ve been able to drop 12 pounds, not all of it has been fat. I realize this because for the majority of the 6 week period I wasn’t able to work out.

Can Working Out With Weights Slow Down Weight Loss?

I just started working out again this past week and because of that, my results have actually slowed down quite a bit in the last week concerning weight loss on the scale.

I only lost 0.2 of a pound this week. Which the weeks prior to this week I have lost 1, 2, or 3 pounds pretty consistently.  I expect to actually gain some more weight over the next month to 6 weeks because I’m going to be working out again on a regular basis beginning this week.

I won’t be upset if I see the scale weight actually go up because I know that muscle weighs more than fat. It’s okay to be gaining muscle. That doesn’t mean that I’m not losing fat. It’s something that I’m definitely expecting. You can even be losing fat while you’re gaining muscle. I could be gaining muscle, losing fat and still gaining scale weight. So I’m not going to obsess over my weight too much.

Tips I Have Picked Up To Improve Fat Loss Results

I have noticed a couple of things along the way during this 6 week period. I want to bring them up to you guys in hopes that they can help you out with your intermittent fasting journey as well.

The first thing I wanted to tell you guys about is that I’ve noticed what I eat definitely reflects itself on the scale the next morning. I weigh myself every day because there’s going to be high days, and there’s going to be low days throughout the week.

I just want to track my lowest scale weight number for the week so that I can see if I’m making progress. On certain days when I eat this one meal, I have noticed that the next day almost like clockwork I drop weight.

What is that meal?  I’m going to tell you guys and you might be shocked.

Here’s what it is. It consists of 2 hamburgers with cheese on top, sweet potato fries, as well as some broccoli and about a cup of plain yogurt.  I didn’t show the yogurt here, but I do eat that with the meal.

It’s a lot of food. I eat this for my big meal at lunch time. I don’t know if it’s the broccoli that’s flushing out water weight or what it is. But when I eat this meal, like clockwork the next day I seem to lose weight.

I don’t tell you guys that for you to go out and eat exactly what I’m eating. Obviously, you have to eat whatever works for you. I tell you that to encourage you to pay attention to what you eat. Also to what the scale says the next day.  But you have to eat whatever works for you.

Weigh Yourself Each Day And Track Weight Loss

If you notice that every time you eat a certain meal for lunch the next day you wake up lighter, then that’s a meal you might want to consider eating more of if it’s working for you.

On the other hand, if every time you eat something the next day you wake up heavier, you might not want to eliminate that meal, but maybe you don’t want to eat it as much.  Hopefully, that makes sense.

That was the first tip I noticed that I thought you guys might be able to benefit from as well.

The next thing that I noticed is that I’ve been slacking off on my walking for the last couple of weeks.

Over this 6 week period, I haven’t been hitting the gym at all.  So the only exercise I have been getting is walking.

I have been trying to walk at least 20-30 minutes every day.  However, over the past couple weeks, I’ve really slacked off on that. I can notice my progress slowing down quite a bit.

So I am definitely going to try to implement more walking and overall exercise over the next 6 week period to try to ramp the fat loss back up again.

Like I said I won’t be too concerned if I don’t lose weight in the next few weeks because I know I’m going to be putting on muscle.

I don’t want to obsess over the scale weight. But with that being said, I like to measure my weight every day to get an idea of the meals that I’m eating and what they’re doing to the scale weight.  As well as to try to see if I’m continuing to make progress with my fat loss.
