I think fasting as a concept is very sustainable but I’ve been restrictive in a way that isn’t.
It’s great to have got the process off to a flyer but I don’t think losing over a kilo a week is particularly healthy over more than 6-8 weeks.

I think it’s definitely sustainable .
I think you will find it difficult to drop so much per week after that much of aN initial loss.
I lost 15kg doing a lot of fasted rides , managing long fasts became easy , even if a bit antisocial .
But the initial weight loss hit a plateau , and I think my body got used to it .
I’ve tried a bit of running , a lot of walking and even at home I’m doing weights ( I’m older , so weights are crucial)again .So Im burning calories.Important not to reward a workout with treats .
Still fasting, probably 2 years now .I won’t go back now .. it would cost too much to swop my wardrobe back .Plus ,I’m a bit heart conscious and an extra 12kg of fat wasn’t doing me any good .
Can’t wait for the gym to reopen , but meanwhile making do with kettle bells

Well done, that’s a great achievement.
What isn’t sustainable about your approach? Is it just that you feel you’re depriving yourself of the fun stuff? My energy feels on a more even keel and by telling myself I can’t eat after 6pm I’ve found a surprising level of willpower in the face of my wife scoffing all the peanut M&Ms.
