  Well, I've already lost 5.5 kilos. Confirmed.

  Actually, six kilos, but after I drank lotsa water just now, I regained 0.5 kilos of water weight.

  My experience.....

  For the first two or three days I tend to lose weight very quickly, but then the body adapts after that. It becomes more efficient at using energy and hoarding whatever is left as much as possible.

  Which is also why I tend to regain 2-3 kilos very quickly once Hari Raya comes. My body has become too efficient by then.

  So, really, I wouldn't recommend fasting as a good way of weight loss. A good ol' regime of a sensible diet and regular exercise is still the best.

  i know.. but hey.. i can back that up with sensible eating during the times to break fast and exercise too..

  you could try by limiting your calorie intake to 4 figures daily instead of your usual 6 figures

  Yeah, well, I was 64.7kg prior to fasting. I'm 59 kilos now.

  On my part, I hope to regain no more than 2 kilos after this. I just kinda like it that the tyre around my waist kena punctured already.
