Intermittent Fasting Week 2 Report

This morning, after 2 weeks of modified fasting on alternate days, I was down to 184 lbs. I have been taking in about 300 calories on fasting days (mostly in the form of carrots and celery) and have tried to continue eating a normal amount on non-fasting days. In the past week, I lost only 1 lb. However, in week 1 I lost 7 lbs, which was impossibly high. So averaged over the 2 weeks I have lost 4 lbs per week. That is a bit more believable, but still rather high. I suspect that I am actually losing about 2-3 lbs per week.

The good news is that the hunger and desire to eat have been growing more managable in the past week. I did eat heartily on Saturday and Sunday (being Easter) this week. That made Monday a bit of a shock to the system, but I was ready to start having that thin feeling I get from fasting versus the bloated sensation from eating all day with no restriction.
