As many people will mention, muscle weighs more than fat and thus you may not "see" the difference right away. Hang in there. Also, not eating for 3 days is really not a good idea - although having 4-5 small healthy meals is definitely okay. Have you tried adding some weight exercises into your program? Although cardio is great, perhaps some resistance exercise may help speed things along. Best of luck to you
