Intermittent Fasting: month five

During December I managed to lose four pounds only. This was either the Christmas effect or diminishing returns. Here's the record so far (I started Dr Michael Mosley's intermittent fasting regime after his Horizon programme August 2012).

Date	Stone	Lb	Pounds	Kg	Change	BMI
07/08/2012	13	8	190	86.4	(lb)	26.19
08/09/2012	12	13	181	82.3	9	24.95
06/10/2012	12	7	175	79.5	6	24.12
08/11/2012	11	12	166	75.5	9	22.88
08/12/2012	11	6	160	72.7	6	22.05
08/01/2013	11	2	156	70.9	4	21.50

My waist measurement was 40 inches back in August; it's now down to 36 inches which is still too much (apparently, your waist should be less than half your height - in my case this means a waist of 35 inches or less). Looking at my abdominal region I see the signs of flabbiness still there. I have, or had, the worst kind of barrel or apple shape, like my father. This is an indicator for internal fat around the viscera, which is not good.

So policy remains three fast days a week. I usually have just a salad lunch those days with plenty of leaves with fish, chicken or egg .. plus some fruit to follow. As my cold is almost over, I expect to restart gym visits any day soon as I could do with some muscle mass!
