Hi all
This is my first week of IF diet,I have done it before and has worked for me.I was jobless since October 2015 but now on my way to start working again.I need to be back in shape and I know this will work,first week has been a little tough since I haven't done it in a little while.I have taken my pics and can't wait to take pics again in 5 more weeks.Right now I'm doing home workouts,3 days/week.I am eating within 500 cal on fast days.Rest of the days are normal.I hope to hear from you guys.Thanks

    No.

    Welcome aboard OP :) I did alternate day IF for my weight loss phase, 5:2IF as my transition plan from weight loss to maintenance and I now do 16:8IF as part of my maintenance plan. Love IF and I'll most likely do it in some form for the rest of my life. There's quite a few IF'ers here, most do 16:8IF though there's a few ADF/5:2IFers too :)

    True that girl.I totally agree.Now I can't even think of any other diet plus I hate those kind of diets where they ask you to eat 5-6 times a day.One I hate cooking.2 I can't be eating all day long,I have better things to do:).These days I'm doing 5:2 or sometimes 5:3,trying to get back into shape before I start my work again.There's no way it won't work as long as you being a good girl.Just remember it takes time we need to be patient.Good luck ladies.
