Fast-5, IF and body composition

I have been doing fast-5 for about a month and a half and have lost 13 lbs. I am down to 155! The thing is that I lost weight down to 155 without intermittent fasting about three years ago. I am 55 years old and lifted weights this time, heavy ones like deads and squats and did chins and dips but alas at 155# still no abs but the last time I was not lifting so much and not fasting and I saw my abs at this weight. I think the reason might be that my 5-10pm window is basically just allowing me to have supper so I lost a lot of weight fast. I felt pretty hungry sometimes. When I dieted the last time, I lost weight much more slowly. It took me Many Months to lose the last thirteen pounds down to 155, not just one and a half, more like 6.

So, what I am starting to believe is that I might be better off adjusting my eating window… if I want to do fasting.

Or, I could do what I did the last time which was… 2 eggs for breakfast, 1 dollar double cheeseburger for lunch, some peanuts inbetween as needed for snacks and… whatever my wife cooked for dinner but not overeating. I got more ripped on that diet than I am on this fast-5 thing albeit this is quite an experience. I am thinking its possible it makes sense to do a noon to 8 pm thing like on leangains eight hour window. At least then I would get two meals in and not lose so fast. Well I am not sure exactly what I will do but feel like I am learning a lot. I do want to get stronger and would love to be able to see my abs. Seems Fast 5 is a bit too severe for me the way I was doing it. (Basically eating supper and then maybe cottage cheese later in the night…)
