[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1392790, member: 41816"] I've tried various intermittent fasting regimes, and i (regrettably) fell into the 23:1 pattern Monday-Friday for most of last Autumn. It slowed my metabolism significantly, while giving me good blood glucose readings. Without knowing you, your previous diet habits, and your unique metabolism, none of us can say whether your metabolism will slow on this regime or not. Or how long it will take. But you are, without doubt, on a IF low calorie combo and are risking it. I won't go that route again, but (as others have said) if you are happy with your boat floating that way downstream, then go for it. Regarding the exercise, have you read Fung's blog entry on the Biggest Losers? That alone would put me off the regime you have adopted. Very harsh on the body, possibly not enough protein, a fast track to metabolic slow down, and risking long term metabolic consequences. I've never gone down the excessive exercise route (thank goodness, i have enough joint damage without adding that too), but i did mess up my metabolism with low cal diets in the 80s, and i am still dealing with the consequences. I really should have known better than to try the 23:1 shouldn't I? [/QUOTE]
