I started CICO last year but wasn't serious about it. January 1st 2020 I seriously started weighing all food and tracking all consumed calories along with my Garmin watch for activities. I also began working out 2-3x per week instead of just walking the dog. By the second week of February, I had only lost about 2lbs and was extremely frustrated. Why am I working so hard and depriving myself of food and not seeing any results!? February 11th, I switched to IF. I started with a schedule of 18:6 or 20:4 on week days and a little more relaxed on weekends (usually 14:10 or 16:8). It has been almost a month of IF (continuing same workouts), and I'm seeing and feeling much more progress.
I went back to my excel sheet tracking all my weight, and on CICO I was averaging -0.25 lbs/week. On IF, I'm averaging -1.3 lbs/week! And I don't feel deprived of any food! I definitely recommend looking into intermittent fasting if you're not seeing the results you expected counting calories.
