What's Your Take on Intermittent Fasting? (1 Viewer)

[Lovely_Cornchips]

I just started intermittent fasting a couple of days ago.
I eat every day from 12 to 8 and then don't eat for 16 hours basically.
I know my parents do the 36-hour method, where twice a week they don't eat for 36 hours.
I personally actually like it, I've been eating less, and the time crunch actually keeps me in line with my eating.
My boyfriend doesn't seem to like it though if I'm being honest.

So what about you?
What are your experiences with it?
Would you try it? Which version?

It's ok to not be cool with it just please be respectful of other's opinions please!​

i did it without knowing what it was for the past couple y ears except for some days if i can't eat dinner until late. I probably ate from around 11-7 but sometimes it was more like 12:30-7 if I didn't want to go get lunch yet.

i had to quit recently bc my job starts at like 7:30 or 7:45 during the school term and if i don't have some sort of breakfast my body is too tired

I play with it.
some times just going the 24 to hard reset ketosis.

done 2-3 days before i really need to hit it now, as while sick i ate way way too much sugar and carbs trying to feel better and not be always hungry.
and cooking was too annoying.

so i use it along with low carb like ill eat once and maybe snack on some nuts in a 2-4 hour period then done till next day if i am focusing.

I wish I had been like that I think if I had a set schedule I wouldn't have blown up like I did at some point.

i like the structure it gives you with being aware of the meals and amount you eat, i hope to go back to a form of it when i graduate or my schedule is more stabilized

I usually really struggle with portions and late-night eating but having a set schedule is really helping me kick those bad habits.

I’ve done it for a few weeks but it was kinda blah so I stopped. I just calorie count instead. Are you doing it for weight loss? Gut rest?

weight loss and gut rest. I have a bunch of stomach issues and I feel like my stomach has settled a bit becuase of doing this.

Nice! You know what I should try it again. Last time I did 18:6 I think, maybe 20:4 would work better for me
Do you use an app for fasting? I just downloaded Zero but haven’t tested it out yet

I think it works as a short term solution but you also need to think long term if you wanna stay a good weight
