Transformation - How I Lost Weight With… Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a diet that involves limiting your kilojoule intake to a set time frame during the day, and fasting the rest of the time. It’s become a major trend in recent years.

But you’re probably still asking yourself: does it actually work? And would you be able to stick to a life without breakfast?

Sports physio Nick Pereira shares his experience of how he lost weight with intermittent fasting back in 2018 – and how he’s still doing it.

Eating Less – But Better

“My journey to better health started in 2016. My process involved becoming a regular exerciser, cleaning up my diet, looking after my mental health, and committing to a journey of self-mastery.”

“My last weigh-in – back in November 2017 – tracked my weight at 84kg, with 14% body fat. After roughly eight months of fasting and regular exercise, without my focus being on weight or body fat, I noticed I was really starting to lean out.”
