[WiaNas29]

got myself out of shape over the last few years
I’m currently 250 lbs and I would like to lose about 50 lbs and get down under 200
I’m 5’9” and I’m 35 years old
what is the best way to use fasting to help me cut down something that’s realistic as I’ve never done it before

i would do EOD alternate day fasting

fast day 1, eat 2-3 healthy meals day 2. and so on

why don't you try intermittent fasting where you only eat in a 4-hour window

 

[sambee38]

hopefully you can get good results fasting I would start with a 20 hour fast and go from there

I would recommend a 36 hour fast if you want to go longer

I support this method, easiest way to intermittent fast, and you should start with it. You need to change your life style FIRST!!! Then if you want, have your hand at a multiday wet fast to lose a bunch. If you don't have the discipline to intermittent fast you will very likely put it all back on after a long fast.

My job was very active so I had 500 cals of raw veggies(high volume fills stomach) and some granola with yogurt on my "fast days". Then on normal days tried my best to stay away from sugar and junk food, very simple.
