Has IF caused me to lose muscle?

You think wrong

To lose 5lbs of weight you'd have to run a 500 calorie deficit every day for 5 weeks, and most of that weight lost will be fat.

Any time you change eating patterns you subject yourself to waterweight fluctuations. You haven't lost 5lbs, you were probably just carrying 5lbs more water before you changed your eating pattern.

That makes much more sense, thank you!

I would guess water weight. I started cutting two weeks ago at a modest deficit to lose about a pound a week and I dropped four pounds on the scale. In my experience I've found IF drops water weight quickly at first...even when bulking.

Well, it's good to know I'm not the only one experiencing this, I was hoping I didn't mess up, thank you.
