I’ve done it since the start of January and the weight has fallen off. I’m down 11kg from 99.6 to 88.3 but I’d add that’s been with no alcohol or bread and I’ve been training fasted four to five times a week. I was only eating starchy carbs twice a day but loads of fruit etc.
Needless to say I need to take a break from it or maybe stop for good and switch to something more sustainable.
I’d aimed to get 20kg off for the summer which looks achievable now. It’s all weight I’d piled on since I stopped cycling seriously so it should be achievable but hopefully without 10-12 hours a week on the bike.
I’m having a drink this weekend and I can’t wait.

Anyone still doing 16/8?
My weight loss plateaud for a couple of weeks but in hindsight I was getting a little loose with the white bread and timings but now I’m back to a strict regime and my energy level is right back up. Started on the 16th Jan so coming up to six weeks and roughly 4.5kgs dropped (~84 Kg) which at least is back in the healthy zone for my height.
Anecdotally my legs have felt pretty shite running, really heavy but I’ve been on a steady decline for the last 18 months due to a stubborn Achilles injury so maybe I just need to adjust my expectations. Times seem inline with BF % which was a take away from reading ‘Race Weight’ years ago so I’ll continue to track progress and as long as my HR vs Speed is dropping I’ll be pleased.
