    I do - it's not a big deal, I just eat breakfast, lunch an dinner 3-4 hours apart. Isn't that pretty normal?

    I'm on a 16/8 schedule most days. Add me if you like.

    Pretty much... Im not pedantic about it as meal timing is irrelevant to weight loss, "fasting" just happens to fit my schedule.

    I do it too. Just a way of eating that helps me control calorie intake. Been doing it for almost a year now.

    I do also. Just fits my schedule well . I don't like to eat late at night and I'm up early but don't eat right away. So it just works out

    16/8 has been really helpful for me. I just have to stay consistent with it.

    That said, I eat 16:8 most of the time, purely because I like to have a couple big meals and if I spread them 5-7 hours apart it works for me. I've eaten that way all my life...they just decided to name it IF. ::shrug::

    I’m thinking of doing the 16 hour fast maybe twice a week. Is that enough for weight loss ?

    Tried it, didn't work for me. Now just doing a low calorie diet and working much better, lost nearly 10kg in 6 months.

    It's not for weight loss.

    I started just cutting out my evening snack, as it really was mindless eating and I’m never hungry in the morning. I don’t really think of it as a fast, just eating a couple to three meals with no snacking. I’m way less hungry. I’m still pretty new at this though, and only cut the snacking because it helps limit my calories. :)

    I do but I'm not strict. Some days I don't eat until 6 pm, some days it's more like 3pm. I just like saving my cals for the end of the day. Always up for more friends. Sent OP a request.

    Calorie deficit is required for weight loss. Meal timing is irrelevant.
