[QUOTE="Truffle, post: 889395, member: 43965"] I have been low carbing for 3 years now but over time I have been pigging out more than i should - portion control being a major problem - mainly on good stuff, salami and cheese, but the result has been that I have gained some weight. I decided to try a version of the warrior diet three weeks ago but thought that I would probably fail to last a day without food.I am now starting my fourth week. I only eat once a day, leaving an 'eating window' from 6pm - 10pm. I still low carb but eat a substantial portion. I eat like this five days of the week but at the weekend allow myself to eat from midday. I have not found it difficult after the first day and I don't get hungry during the fast period. I have found I have much more energy and want to be on the move all the time. My blood sugar has been very stable and somehow I feel less burdened not having to think about what to eat for breakfast and at work! I have lost 4lbs per week which is probably quicker than I would like but it is not much quicker than if I was on a 1,000 calorie a day diet. I really don't know if I could eat like this for ever although at the moment I don't have any problems with it. I want to lose another stone and then I might introduce another day of eating two meals so that it is 4 / 3. So, at the moment I have not found any negatives to this at all - but obviously it would not suit everyone. It has made me understand that before when I thought I was hungry I was probably just bored! [/QUOTE]
