01.31: ADF Results

Guys. No so great. I didn't do well sticking to the rules. Starting Weight: 100% Ending Weight: 98% Loss: 2% Ending Weight from Jan 1: 98% Loss from Jan 1: 2% Challenges:  The biggest challenge was that I wanted to eat every day and I wanted to eat well over the 500 calorie goal. I would fast all day, then eat after work and I would overeat because I was starving. I was more successful on days when I spread the calories out during the day. I didn't track calories on the fasting days as I was supposed to. Successes: 2% is something, right? I did find that, at least, it made me think about what and how I was eating. Verdict: Not worth the effort even though the effort is pretty minimal. 

The Game

The game is simple: each month of 2018 try a new diet. Stick with each diet for 4 weeks and then move on. If a diet works, you can come back to it later. If a diet stinks, you're free after 30 days. At the end of the year, you'll know how twelve diets work - or don't work - for you. Here's my schedule for the year. Feel free to follow along, or create your own. January: Alternate Day Fasting February: Atkins March: Ketogenic April: Paleo May: Whole 30 June: Vegetarian July: Vegan August: DASH diet September: South Beach October: Zone Diet November: Volumetrics December: unscheduled
