I decided to give IF a try for a week or two and see how I feel and results compared to following my macro diet. I am on day 4 and likewise I am on day 4 of a mild headache. I have been weaning off diet soda as a caffeine fix, so could be withdrawals from that or could be my body trying to acclimate to IF. If the headache doesn't go away soon I may cave
This is seriously impressive and makes me want to get my butt in gear. I only need to lose around 25 lbs to be comfortable with myself again, but at 5'2" that counts for a good bit. I've been trying to maintain a deficit daily, but at my height it can be hard especially when stress triggers eating for me. So you do two days per week at 600 calories and the other not counting but just eating healthy foods? I feel like I could do that!I'm down 90lbs. From a 42+ waist to a 34, XXL down to xl and L, started this less than a year ago. It's unreal. Had I not fallen off the wagon for a month I'd be at goal weight.

Also, why kombucha? And do you have a particular kind you like? Sorry for all the questions!
Thanks! I may give this a try this week and see how it goes.I'm far less strict on the 2 600 calorie days. I focus more on eating in an 8 hour window. If you do the 5 2 with 2 600 calorie days you will melt 25lbs fast. Sustaining goal weight means readjusting the diet from a loss to a healthy balance.
Kombucha keeps you regular and it works. I don't have a favorite, but I like the ginger flavor Aldi has. It makes you feel better when you start this style diet because it keeps things moving even when there isn't a lot to move lol tried to say that without being crude
