Quick question :) wonderpug or anyone, please take a few seconds

I just want to make this sure, Im eating for 2 days in 1, and then the next day im fasting. im cutting.

At the end of the week, will i remain losing fat?

lol if at the end of the week you're at a deficit you will lose weight. Losing fat is another question. Read the stickies please.

As long as the weekly caloric balance is negative, you will lose weight. For example's sake, say your maintenance is 3000 cals. One day of 4000 calories and one day of zero calories will still result in a 2000 calorie deficit over the two days (4000-(3000*2)=-2000. That being said, I have no idea why you would want to do it this way. This type of behavior can result in binge/purge cycles and eating disorders, but whatever you find works best for you. Good luck.

It should work, yea (but wait for someone with much more experience to answer), but seems torturous. Just saying.

Yes, but why?

Average caloric intake will govern bodyweight, with micro/macronutrient sufficiency playing a role in terms of body composition.

That said, why in the world would you want to engage in such disordered eating?

Thank you

I tried it the last few days, and i like doing it this way, ive no idea why, but i do.. haha

So having a deficit at the end of the week, this will result in fatloss, yes?

well if at the end of the week you're losing weight then yes it works, if it doesnt it obviously doesnt

yes. However, I would suspect that when people do this type of eating, they may tend to binge / pig out on their non-fasting day. If such a binge ends up with huge calories, then you very well may end up gaining fat. I would also think that the fast days may have you experiencing some intense cravings.

I agree with the others, that this sure sounds like a borderline eating disorder, but who knows, maybe this craziness fits your schedule and may work for you. One thing that you should be aware of is that excessive dietary fiber can also contribute to malabsorption of iron, zinc and other minerals as well as digestive disorders and discomforts. That may be relevant to you if you are eating massive amounts of fiber every other day.

Also, how are your energy levels in the gym on your fast days?
