Why am I not losing weight with intermittent fasting?
Quick answer
You may still be eating enough calories in the eating window to maintain weight, or the schedule may not fit your lifestyle.
Step by step
01 Review your eating window honestly.
02 Check weekend and drink calories.
03 Track hunger and overeating after fasts.
The longer answer
Fasting changes when you eat, not automatically what or how much you eat. Mayo notes some benefits may overlap with general calorie reduction, so food quality and total intake still matter.
Tip
No shame: fasting is a tool, not a moral test.
Common mistake
Assuming fasting hours erase eating-window choices.
