Sorry, haven't been follow this thread, but was told some great info had been posted.
I can attest to the mini-fast at night and HIT. Just 3 minutes (1 minute 3 days a week) of HIT a week got me through a barrier (95kg) that I'd been butting my head against for a long time. Thing is though, I started waiting longer between 20 sec bursts and it seemed to help (sorry Huggy, forgot to mention that
). I'd wait until my breathing started to slow before doing the next burst which should increase the amount of fat breathed out with each 1 minute exercise session.
Due to some health issues I had to stop exercising a couple of months back and just worked up the courage to weigh myself this morning. Turns out that I haven't gained any weight after all the sitting around I've been forced to do! My living situation makes it difficult to eat dinner before 6 pm every night, but I have been eating breakfast later. The mini-fast and keeping up basic activity (sometimes just walking on the spot as too little or too much activity could floor me) is all I've managed the last 7+ weeks and my weight is holding!
While there might be some YMMV this stuff does work. Just be careful with starting any HIT; take it slow and build up slowly. If you have any medical conditions talk to your doctor first.
This is great, thanks Huggy!

I really should get my mind straight and put something together as I am sure there are others who would find it helpful. I have mentioned most of it earlier in this post but to bullet point it... 1) No calories after 6.00pm. 2) Psyllium husk to help the tum work and support colon bacteria. 3) Amla to control the diabetes.
Oh, and exercise for weight loss is different than for fitness training. HIT works (3 x 20 second intense exercise bursts with 20 second rest intervals). Unfortunately with my CFS this is not possible for me, but it's not essential. As it's been shown that just being active and occasionally getting a little out of puff actually burns more calories and helps with health more than hitting the gym. And with your ouchies I wonder if that might be a better approach for you too?
