Week 5 Report

Last week I lost another 2 pounds! My average weight loss on a (modified) alternate day fasting diet is now 3 pounds per week. Considering that it took me five weeks of feeling hungry every day to lose 5 pounds on a "normal" calorie restriction diet before I started fasting, this is really nice. I'm only hungry three days per week, and even on the fasting days I probably only feel hunger for about a total of thirty minutes during the day. I'm certainly going to continue on until I reach my goal of 170 pounds. In fact, this has been so painless that I'm probably going to move that goal even lower, so long as the weight continues to come off at 2 lbs per week.
