I had been following the intermittent fasting – or 5:2 diet – reasonably well until Christmas.
Then I suddenly noticed my gut was protruding and I was over 91 kg on 2nd January.
Back to low calorie days on Mondays and Thursdays and I've shed 7 kg in two months.
I noted here last year how my belly seems to deflate almost day by day as I lose visceral fat around my organs. Although intermittent fasting is supposed to have health advantages beyond weight loss, losing visceral fat is definitely a good thing to do. It is easy to monitor as I just try to stick my gut out.
For a while I noticed greater protuberance to the left side, presumably my stomach. Since then things evened up for a while.
Now it feels like there is nothing to protrude: trying flexes my stomach muscles rather than pushing my stomach, liver and whatever else forward. Things are fitting where they should again.
Last time I stabilised at around 82 kg. In theory my ideal Body Mass Index is a further 6 kg below this, which might be interesting to aim for just to see what happens.
