I wanna try it for health reasons! Not a full day but like 8-10 hours? I heard intermittent fasting is supposed to have benefits...

In the sense of "maybe I should try this" but not so much in the sense of "actually being successful" idk I guess my food schedule is too set!

 

[RandAlThor]

That's called intermittent fasting and it's something that I live every day. I don't start eating until 12pm and I stop eating by 6pm, so a 6hr eating window. This is called an 18/6 fast (18hr fast/6hr eating window).

I have done full day fasts, but they're not really necessary when you're doing intermittent fasting every day.

Religiously, and only partial days

I'm afraid if i'll binge eat in that window

12-16 is pretty easy if you can drink water or zero sugar bev of choice, just takes abit of time.

If ya can i find eating dinner earlyish then pushing breakfast the easiest way to start since much of the time you are asleep

also when i am serious i force myself to cook or eat say raw nuts.. its much harder to eat too much if you have to make it .
i still have huge portions so i finish not hungry.

don't fast because of that my friend - you're likely to just put it back on when you start eating again
healthy foods and physical activities

 

[dark_tranquility]

One of the best things you can do to improve your health. I'm rather sure that the Diet Industry hates intermittent fasting: Combine intermittent fasting with cardio workout and you don't need their expensive and often useless mumbo jumbo anymore.



Intermittent fasting works absolutely great with a Paleo or Keto diet. It's strange irony that we should relearn things today that are already part of our evolutionary heritage. Telling people that they shouldn't eat three times a day and should avoid eating such an amount of dead food is like bringing a fish to a swimming course.

Thanks for the input guys, i tried it today for like 3 hours but i had a headache and it wouldnt go away with medicine so i ate 1 biscuit, a yoghurt and some crackers so it would go away

 

[Ahsoka]

Never intentionally. On accident yeah loads of times, sometimes in high school I would be too busy to eat so I'd go up to about 36 or so hours without food. Now I wouldn't call it fasting personally, but 18 or 19 ish hours without food is normal to me. It's just how my eating schedule works out and the fact that making/finding food is effort.

I have done it a few times and it make me feel a lot better afterwards

That's due to years of your body relying on sugar/carbs for energy. Intermittent fasting will teach it to use fat instead, which is much more efficient. There will definitely be growing pains... depending on how sugar/carb-rich your diet has been and for how long. You're most likely insulin-resistant right now too.
