Hi Leksie, What fasting window do you use and do you follow a special eating plan as well? I have tried this for a bit and I think my biggest downfall was that when I could eat I ate all the wrong stuff.

I only eat dinners in the week & on weekends I follow 16:8 intermittent fasting. Most of my week night dinners is healthy, paleo/whole30/banting type dinners, but I have a wine addiction which I KNOW I HAVE TO ADDRESS...
What I don't understand is that last year I lost up to 6 kilos with this regime, but since Christmas last year I picked up the weight I lost & ever since I just can't seem to lose it again... And I'm not doing anything different now than before Christmas...

If you are picking up weight its because you are in a caloric surplus. There is biologically no other way you can gain weight. If you track your meals and stay in a caloric deficit daily, you WILL lose weight. The absolute best advice I can give you (although you did not ask for it) is to forget about intermittent fasting/Banting/Paleo.
Just simply work out your maintenance calories, subtract 300 cals from that and then divide your daily cals in 40% protein,40% carbs, 20% fat. Stick to these targets everyday and you ABSOLUTELY WILL make progress.

Oh and I also had high blood pressure. Then I lost 10% bodyfat and boom BP better than ever. Of course thats assuming your husband isn't very lean already.

it might be worth doing research on IF and women. i had the same experience as you where I lost weight and felt great with IF/low carb. but slowly it stopped working and I actually started gaining weight. a lot of research now is showing that men respond much better to 16:8 than women and all research showing its benefits are based on men. it seems that 12hr fasts and also not every day seem to work better. i do occasional 16:8 now and 12hr ones a few days a week. (after taking a break from all IF for a while) and am.losing weight again.

Yeah I agree have a look at your calorie intake. Be even more strict on your diet I'm sure you'll start losing again. All the best!

@Bornmanh remember the macro percentages for everyone is different even if they weigh the same so 40/40/20 might work for you but for leksie it might not work. Everyone's body reacts different to carbs. I'm on a 42/35/24 and my friend is on 55/25/20 and we weight the same and same length and we on the same body fat percentage.

@Side4kicks 40/40/20 is just a starting guidline, I actually do 36/44/20. But 40/40/20 is a good place to start and adjust from there.
