Weight / Fat loss

how much do you weigh and how much have you lost?

I toyed with fasting on the weekend. 18 hours was enough for me, only drinking water but did have some effect. i think. dont know if that was psychological or not though.

i went from 70kg to 62kg, now im up to 68kg (6kg of muscle gain)
i dont follow this eating plan for weight loss to be honest, more a way of keeping bodyfat low while being able to eat what i want (post-training of course).

I realise this wont go down well at all, but does anyone else have trouble keeping weight on?

Unless I conciously make an effort to eat three solid meals a day I get stupidly skinny, even if I cut back on gym / cycling. I find eating takes too long and requires too much effort, especially when you're busy - is this the beginning of an eating disorder or do I just need to eat more cake and drink less espresso?

edit: I'm 6', 70kg and when last checked 3 months ago 11% bodyfat. The physician told me to gain weight back then and I was 4kg heavier.

nutella, peanut butter, dohnuts. they are all your friends for weight gain.

What do people reckon to leangains and intermittent fasting? The strictness of leangains seems a little mind boggling and unworkable - especially with regards to timing and dietary constraints on training and rest days.

IF is great, i tried the keto diet as well actually, fucking hard! i lasted 4 weeks, admittedly it does lean you out a lot, but i turned into a moody motherfucker after about 10 days. not sustainable for me.
i love carbs too much.

the alternating diet is pretty good, i eat 0.8x maintainance calories on rest days (high fat/protein, low carb as possible), and 1.2x maintainance on training days (high carb/protein, low fat.)

you're dead right though, training for aesthetics and training for performance are very different.
