Thanks for the shout out, Tim, and for the article on fasting. Informative and thought provoking.

I seem to have naturally gravitated towards intermittent fasting - not deliberately, but sometimes I don't eat my first meal of the day until late afternoon, and I find it hard to eat more than two meals a day. Still, I wonder if I'm decreasing muscle mass by doing this. But I don't feel weak.

Anyway, I recommend that you view your scale readings as just one source of data. It's just one metric of how to measure your progress, and can be deceiving. You can be making progess even if the scale doesn't go down, or even if it goes up! Speaking for myself, my weight can vary a couple of pounds per day. That doesn't mean that I've gained a couple of pounds of fat overnight. Useless to obsess over what the scale says. Sometimes I just put it in the closet, and pull it out once a week or once a fortnight.
