Calorie intake is slowly increasing. It’s at 900 now. It is still being fed in a single meal immediately after a fasted ~20min cardio workout targeting 150-165hr. At the start of this the workouts felt doggy, but over the last 4 days they’ve felt strong and I’ve been able to push harder. I’ve dropped 30seconds off my mile time and yesterday’s 5km row was finished in 21’05.
After the initial water weight drop I’m currently sustaining 1lb of weight loss per day over the past week. I’d like to keep that up by increasing training vol as the weight comes off but I think that’s unrealistic to sustain forever. I’m sure it will taper off to .75lb/day over the next 5-7 days as the body adapts and I increase feeding to compensate for the building exercise intensity/vol.
I’ve so far had zero slip ups on my meals. Over the next two weeks my intake will slowly climb to 1200 paying attention to eating quality food and making sure my balance and macros are there to stay healthy. Eventually that will be 1200 + extra to fuel the workouts until I hit my goal weight.
So far I’ve had no issues with hunger and only cravings immediately before meal time. No negative symptoms of the very low calorie start to this process. I honestly feel better right now than I have this entire year and have zero desire to binge eat which has been a problem for me recently.
Photographs and tape show a good amount of fat lost during this process. I am noticeably thinner in my legs and midsection. I had to buy 2XL clothing to wear at my peak in weight (260). I can now comfortably fit into XL again and I’ve lost 2” in my waist. I’ve had one person comment that they noticed I’d lost weight and that feels good.
Thank you for listening loseit.
Cautionary note: Please do not try to cut this hard unless you are under the supervision of a medical professional.
