IF and LCHF combined, how has your experience been?

I love the versatility of this LCHF WOE. I do love fasting too, and have a long history of trying many different types of fasts, since way before I started eating LCHF and joined MFP a little over 6 months ago.

I used to eat 3 meals per day, but when I switched to keto from primal, I naturally morphed into needing to eat just breakfast and supper, no longer needing to eat lunch due to the higher fat content of my meals keeping me feel full. That lead to not needing to eat breakfast as long as I had BPC in the am. My usual pattern of eating is now to fast for 23 hours daily, then eat supper. On the weekends I will do a fast for 48-66 hours, but have also just completed my second Dan method water fast ...on a workday, which had scared me at first, but I now find this quite easy. Even with a ton of stress at work right now. The most amazing discovery is that I have found that I have not resorted to emotional eating to comfort myself during times of stress, like I used to do in the past.

I think that LCHF and IF work very well for me. I would recommend.

I've been doing IF sort of on accident. Most mornings I only have coffee before lunch. I've never been much of a breakfast person! Mostly I just try to follow hunger signals and stay laid back about it. I watch macros more closely than the timing.
