      @@vanessaculbert6080 in my experience it's losing 200g (grams) per day and I think that's ok if one is older with slower metabolism. Two spoonfuls of natural ACV in a glas of water helps digestion too. Also, be careful not to eat all the time during those 8 hours! In my experience it works if I have one small meal after those 16 hours of fasting and for 7 absolutely nothing until the main evening meal.

    To All Young Women: I’m 60 and I urge you to get out of the overweight and obese categories now, for your lifelong health, if nothing else. Do it by healthy eating and exercise and make these lifelong habits. I’m not fat-shaming anyone, but I wish I had focused on maintaining my naturally slim weight when I was young. Every decade, it gets 10 times harder. Weigh once a week, take your measurements every three months, and record the data and dates in a notebook. If you gain more than one pound in a week, just cut the extras the next week. It’s so much easier to maintain than to lose a lot of extra fat. You will be healthier, happier, and do better in life, it’s not fair, but it’s true, being obese cuts your options enormously.

      This comment has given me hope as I was about to give up, there's a lot of "advice" on the internet and it can really screw with you. I am fasting 23 hours a day and have been doing so well,I'm happy, not hungry and the only time I had a headache was when I began and a week ago when I ate my one meal at 13:30 instead of the usual 17 - 18 so the next day trying to get back to my usual routine was hard and I had another headache.
      This is where my problem comes... I don't want to eat keto and fast 23 hours a day because I wouldn't maintain it and I find keto too restrictive at such a small window. I don't want to eat french fries but I want to eat pasta,rice which most of the time is brown but when out I'll eat white...I want to eat a white potato instead of the sweet potato at times. I just want to not be keto restricted during my ONLY hour window for crying out loud yet every expect seems to be pushing keto diet. I know the kind of person I am and as soon as I feel those restrictions I will give up. I just want reassuring that not eat for 23 hours and not having to worry about keto is enough...so after finding her 👆🏾... that beautiful lady,I'm reinvigorated to keep going and not focus on keto as if I wanted to be on keto then I sure wouldn't have chosen to fast 23 hours a day...talk about double "punishment"....no ma'am, not for me, if I wanted keto then I would have just concentrated on that solely but no...I'm fine with my one meal a day.

    I have been fasting since Ash Wednesday for Lent and for self discipline. I usually fast all day until dinner time, to eat with my family. Most days I have something to eat between 9 am and noon, like toast. I only drink water and I have eliminated all white sugar. This is different from what I used to do, as I ate after dinner all of the time! I ate chips a lot. Now, I am motivated by my Faith and my Lord. I fast for Him. I have lost almost 15 pounds since Ash Wednesday. I am very surprised that I am not really hungry. Waiting to eat until you are very hungry is HUGE. No more eating just because the clock says it''s time. And do it for God and He will reward you.

    I’m 25. I started IF two years ago and never looked back. Once it became a habit the benefits made it impossible to stop. The 28 pounds I lost practically fell off! It was so easy. Some of the benefits I experienced were mental clarity, energy increase, better sleep, better skin, and overall happier because of how good I felt. I love never worrying about my weight or looking big in clothes. Those problems dissolved on their own after a couple months of doing IF. Now it is a lifestyle and I’m thriving. 😊

    To show you all how difficult it is to lose weight as your older: Îm 55 and I have been keto since oct 26-2020. I have also done intermittent fasting many ways and some 3 day fasts. I have only lost 12 pounds with at least 40 to go, but I have lost 3 medications for Diabetes. I am now comfortable enough to go on walks without being afraid of low blood sugar. So drink a lot of water and take vitamins and especially minerals no matter how you fast. It changes with age so keep your weight in check when yoûre young to avoid all of this. Lay off the carbs they’ll kill you. Watch dr berg and dr Fung.

      @liliboo I am 53 (this month) I started Keto strict Jan 2021. Was so disappointed by end of March lost about 12 lbs. I started IF, only 12-14 Hrs a day along with Keto. My only snacks are occasional pork rinds with cheese, salsa and or sourcreme or sugar free jello) I eat meat, eggs, avocado and veggies (mostly broccoli,cauliflower, lettuce and zucchini) I eat 1 to 2 meals a day in a 6-8 hr range. Nothing before or after except water, tea, coffee or broth. Since March 1st. Today I am 24lbs down! Never hungry.. it just gets easier every day. Stick to it! It will work. My hypothyroidism is almost at normal levels and I had severe vitamin D deficiency which I take a high dose RX once a week. I was at my highest weight ever, well over 225 lbs. I had 5 sons and was always thin. (120 lbs) after age 40 I kept gaining year after year. This time next year I know I will be under 150😁 Just remember, it takes time and patience but soon you will see results! Trust me, I almost gave up until I started researching IF. GOOD LUCK!

So I prepare meals for him in advance and meat for sandwiches for him or get him to pick up take out for himsel and I just fast.

I've a smidge more to go, but I'm down 47lbs! *Pls note, I had always been in-shape, athletic, an avid skier (*PT/Wkend instructor), rock climber, tennis, volleyball etc., etc. an injury w/ over a yr recovery including surgery, PT & 6months on crutches = the beginning of 0 exercise & pound expansion. FOR ME what's been working is (all on my own) tracking everything I eat (& drink)... I mean EVERYTHING including WATER to know I'm getting enough. I eat whatever food I want, no 'diet' food! I'm not on ANY (food) program e.g. WW, NS or JC etc., but, I AM counting calories with the help of an app (using just the free version,) rather the app is doing the counting, I just track my food & I bought a little/portable no frills spring loaded food scale (not wanting the excuse of batteries being dead, or not being able to toss a 'glass top' scale into a bag for travel. *I did actually start right B4 the Pandemic hit. & I too found it surprisingly easy, more than expected.) I eat regular pasta, potatoes, pizza, fried chicken, candy -chocolate, cookies, wine, GOOD bread, (CHRISTMAS was tough, but I didn't gain!) Even if I go OVER my daily calorie budget I still track, to know WHAT I'm eating. I have even had McDonalds, BUT when I do it's a Regular Hamburger (or Reg. Cheeseburger) Small Fries & sometimes even a non diet Coke (usually IceTea)!! Yes, ...but not very often, & now smaller burgers/fries are filling me up. I can see my appetite has really changed & so I believe I too have 'reset' my appetite & I've not used the food scale in months. FOR ME, tracking my food/counting calories HAS taught me WHAT an appropriate portion is --for me! I do GREEN smoothies to get more veggies in, especially on a day that I know I'll be having pizza, etc. So I do balance things out, eat more in moderation, & I found it KEY to plan my meals the EVE before, not necessarily make it, but PLAN /Track it so I CAN budget a (rare) Fried Chicken dinner. I know what I can eat & how much, it helps me stick to my calorie budget. IF, especially in the beginning, I need more of a Satisfying 'Snack' I have Popcorn (not air), stove top with 1Tbs of OIL & eat 1/2 the pot of popcorn 1 day & save the other half for the next day. It's filling, hi fiber & I LOVE Popcorn so it's very satisfying. Some say I do 'intermitting fasting' as I don't eat breakfast (so yes, 16/8 as well)--BUT know that I NEVER did eat breakfast, not since before HS. I was NEVER hungry enough in the AM. In college when I attempted to eat breakfast I GAINED & honestly I don't like most breakfast foods, I like Bacon, I like Bagels so, even while skiing, I'd maybe grab a bagel or a BAR, protein drink, Banana, Apple or something similar & go burn 1000+cals. But in general I never ate breakfast, & now, still not hungry in the AM, I'd rather have the calories later in the day. *THIS has worked for me, & I'm grateful for these tools, having given me an education on portion size/moderation. *It can be done, even for us women, at any age! Also slow & steady certainly wins this race! To our health!!

    When I first heard of IF, I thought back to my grandmother's eating habits. She passed in 1976 at age 86. A little woman, 4'11" and as long as I knew her 90ish pounds. I recall her eating a poached egg/toast for bfast, a lamb or pork chop ,potato, veg for dinner and probably tea and a little something at lunchtime. She liked a small sweet after dinner..right after dinner...not 2 hours later. There was never any snacking..actually, with the exception of saltines, no snack foods in the house. So it occurred to me that IF is not really new, just new to the current population. I am going to give it a try and during the 8 hours stick to 3 meals..no snacking! BTW, you look great!

    For those who may be triggered by the number, we all have different body structures/bone sizes. (Aly Art, Merriam Style on RUclips explain some explanations) For instance, people were very, very concerned for me at my lowest ever 119lb at 5'5.5" ...I was purposefully losing weight from 145...which looking back (now being above 145) I was totally healthy at 145 and healthy looking. The people who said something when I lost too much were people that wouldn't say something at all if it wasn't a concern. (Males in my family)
    My normal as a teen and college was 125-135 lbs. As mentioned still look super healthy above that. My mom is 5'6" and looked too tiny under 110lb. So though we are similar in heights our body structures are about 10-15lbs difference if that makes any sense.
    Also, my husband is overweight/obese on the BMI chart, but if he went by that BMI chart he would look severely malnourished. They do not factor in body types/bone structure/muscle etc on that chart...now I am not saying throw care to the wind, but these charts do not obviously apply to all. My husband looks in no way shape or form overweight nor obese. Hope this novel helps someone 😃

    I've been intermittent fasting for a year as well. Wasn't overweight to start with but I just feel much better. Also cutting down on carbs and gluten..No more bloating and getting much better sleeps, waking up rested and rejuvenated. Eating dinner as early as possible really helps with overall well being. A few years back, I couldn't even imagine myself going without food for so long but once you cut down on carbs and sugars, your body stops craving for food and fasting becomes much easier, especially when most of it is done while sleeping. Now I eat only twice a day and it feels so good without any deprivation..

      Yes agree, because the there would have to be the Masai paradox, the inuit paradox, the Saami paradox, etc. So many healthy cultures that eat high fat diets.

      I've been learning about how important vitamin K2 is. I think that the grass fed butter the French consume generally keeps the heart healthy by keeping calcium in bones, and out of arteries. Which is hilarious because fat has been demonised for so long. But good quality fats are great!

      @@lauren8627 Eating grass-fed meats and dairy products is good for you and good for the planet. I also make sure my eggs are pasture-raised along with chicken, and so is the bacon I eat once a week. And best of all, it all tastes fabulous!
