Hey GreenDreamer,
Thank you mate, comments like this one keep me going stronger!
After doing the intermittent fasting thing for a little while, what are your thoughts on it, do you think itās helped much? Iāve read a bit about it but havenāt yet decided if Iām going to do it as well as the calorie counting.
Iām going to start my own thread on Monday sharing my weight loss progress and keep myself accountable!
Not finished yet, have another week to goā¦
Here are my thoughts so far:
- training wise (crossfit) - I do have more stamina. Much more, in fact! Strength seems to be a bit better, but not much
- I am loosing weight and are more tonned.
And here is few negatives:
- I eat only between 11am till 7pm. Not always, but sometimes I de feel pretty hungry in the morning. It is still manageable though.
- Social life suffers. Weekends are hardest so I do allow myself eating dinner a bit later on Saturday or Sunday. I am not a fanatic!!!
Writing this blog is helping my to stay motivated, so please start your tread. It will help you keep going!
Good luck! I am looking forward to reading about your experience.

Weight: 78,7 kg, body fat: 21,4%
My thoughts about this one month test:
-
Weight and fat. From 82.5 kg down to 78.7 kg. From 23% down to 21.4%. However sceptical I am about my scale abilities to measure body fat I am confident my weight was measured precisely. It is almost 4 kg lost in 30 days!!! I call it a very good result. I am not sure if it is visible on the pictures but my body fat gone down. As I said before, I do not trust my scale, but all my jeans feel loose and they will fell without a belt. Talking about belts - I needed to drill an extra hole in one of them! Result.
-
16:8 diet. My feeding window was 11am to 7pm. I had maybe 4 days in which it was hard work, rest of the time it was perfectly manageable. Biggest challenge was to eat enough proteins and good carbs and minerals within 8 hours feeding window, which brings me to my next point:
-
Huel. cannot be praised enough. It was quick and tasty (yes, I do like it). Mixed with protein whey when I wanted more proteins, bananas, blueberries, apples, cinnamon, milk, water etc, when I needed variety. It is not official Huel selling point (it should be!!!), but I found it really amazing as a post - workout drink. I keep on drinking Huel daily, no questions about it.
-
Crossfit - it is hard work. You have to find a good box (gym) with experience coaches. Be sensible about what you can and cannot do. Plus consistent. Results are unavoidable.
-
calories intake - I use MyFitnessPal and I like it
Thank you all for reading, keep active, drink Huel and donāt be to hard on yourself little cake here or there is not such a bad thing

This was a really motivating journey to follow. Thank you for posting your progress, and well done on your results, good effort!
I think your body fat looks less than 21%. Have you tried getting some calipers and measuring using skin folds? They are only a few quid online, or maybe there is a trainer at the gym that has some and can take your measurements.

You arenāt anywhere near 21%. You didnāt start anywhere near 23%. Your scale is wrong and these kinds of readings are dangerous to many people psychologically.
The fact that I can see your āVā below your abdomen would suggest lower than 15% body fat. Hard to tell with the lighting, but Iād definitely suggest around 14%.
If you go any skinnier it will look horrendous. Up your calories and pack on some mass. Crossfit + calorie surplus will pack on a tonne of lean mass and strength.

Thank you for your comment!
Not going to get any skinnier and upping my calories 
- as if you read my mind! I believe it will let me work out a bit harder for a bit longer, at least that is my plan for a next month.
And yes, your are right about my scale. Is ()(&)(^%#(&^ !!

Hello mate, thank you for your comment!
I will talk to my trainer.
Glad to hear mate. If you can pack some mass onto that frame youāll be looking super lean and fairly sizeable. Best of luck!
Iām the opposite, finished my bulk now trimming ready for holiday in September.
Well done fella! Enjoyed reading about your progress. Thanks for taking the effort to document.
