First post ever.. tried every diet on earth. Weight fluctuating since 15' when I was 12s 8lb (I'm 5'5 1/2") Last October 17' I started Intermittent fasting. Have lost 2-3 lbs a week even though I haven't stuck to it religiously. Am now a svelt 9 stone 11 lbs. Want to get to 9. Oh I'm 44 and have four children. Started on 12 hr fast for 2 days. then 14. then 16. now I'm at 18 hr fast 6 hr feed. So Lunch (breakfast) at 1pm finished eating by 7pm. The positives are amazing.. better sleep, more energy, dramatic weight loss and a much clearer mind. Takes a few weeks for these advantages to kick in but it's worth it. Results speak for themselves. I've even lost my crazy craving for toast and Taytos

Well done
Just to clarify for new posters reading this.
IF is a way of eating that some people find helps them stick to their calorie goals. 16:8 is one of the most popular. You eat all your calories in an 8 hour window.
Mine is between 1-2pm until 9-10pm. I don't feel hungry on a morning but once I start eating I have an appetite.5 -
Nice, I lost 32 pounds in 2 months doing 12 hr fasting first and now I do more like 16:8 or 18:6. On weekends I do 23:1. Great results.1
