I thought that was 5:2 and you eat like minimal calories on those days 200 to 400..???
No. I just have a really big meal once a day and the other things I eat are pretty minimal when I do eat them.
So you are eating throughout the day, they are just low calorie intakes.
Not fasting?

3 or 4pm you eat.

Is that correct?"
"Yeah pretty much. Sometimes I snack before bedtime but I already said what kind of things I snack on".

Eat Stop Eat (possibly the most well known IF protocol) has 24 hour fasting windows. Warrior Diet - also widely known - is close with 4 hour eating windows.
And Fat Loss Forever has a 36 hour fasting window.
Yikes. I think I would die from the mental hunger alone on a 36 hour fasting period. Haha0 -

Yes, I am type 1 diabetic. What I am saying is that while I had the flu, the only thing I ate was soup and oranges and now fast forward over a month later and I am still craving them. Is this bad or am I okay? Is it a sign of something like maybe some sort of deficiency or an addiction? Should I even be giving it a second thought?
Okay I got it now. Is it bad? No. Unless your Catholic and your priest isn't an orange fan. I think the soup(at least the sodium) may be something you want if you are moving(exercising more). As for a second thought. . . .nah. Enjoy it and move on.

Snacking or small meal during the fasting portion of an IF schedule means you aren't fasting... it just means you eat a big meal, then hours later you eat a small bit of food, etc.
Also broth isn't calorie free so..... if you drink that while "fasting" you aren't actually fasting.0 -

Not so much through out the day. I typically only have 1-2 snacks and I rarely need insulin for them because (unless it's fruit) they are low carb. Sometimes I break it up and have a snack before my meal and one after my meal. Unless my snacks invokes meat, they are almost never over 100 calories.0 -

Good grief. Fasting does not require complete abstinence from food.
Any given protocol may or may not call for complete abstinence, but the term fasting itself means anything from no food to large reduction in food to exclusion of specific foods.
Seems pretty clear the OP is using the term "fasting" in the context of what makes sense for her pre-existing medical condition.

but it was been a few years since I was did IF ...0 -
You can "bahahahaha" all you like...

1. To abstain from food
2. To eat sparingly or abstain from certain foods
From Oxford:
1. Abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance:

At this point, I think there's a protocol for every possible number of hours in the eating window and every possible number of calories inside and outside the eating windows.
From the papers I've read, meaningful physiological benefits start kicking in around hour 16, so IMO it's all good - just find one that works and is adherable. For me it's 18-6, although I haven't actually tried to do a 24hr yet.0
