    This fasting really does work just weighed and measured myself after 3 fast days in 2 weeks:

    Weight 6lb lost
    Waist 1inch list
    Hips 1 inch lost

    Thats good news for the other fast days.
    According to Dr Michael Mosley who pioneered the Fast Diet we can fast for the rest of our lives for 1 day a week on maintainance when you reach your goal. Until then you can do 2 days.

    there is more than one type of IF. some do 5:2 which means 2 days of 500 calories and the rest is eating maintenance calories which is creating a deficit. some do one meal a day. I do 16:8/18:6 which is usually 2 meals a day and several snacks. if you lose weight you are in a deficit. you can still gain weight fasting if you eat too much. I know from experience.

    I fast for 2 days eating 500 to 600cals just once a day, usually tea time. Then the other 5 days eat normally. I drink coffee and lots of water to help with hunger. It does work.

    Happy fasting folks

    it works because at the end of the week you eat at a calorie deficit. when you eat those calories in the week doesn't matter beyond helping keep you satiated. While many of monitor calories daily, there are others (who do IF and who do not) who instead look at their calories over a week for balance/tracking.

    But what some study say that ladies shouldnt skip breakfast.. so being female you might choose to eat from 10:am to 4:00 pm. Fasting for 16 hours can be adjusted as per your convinience.. If you feel more hungry in morning.. skip dinner and have breakfast

    thats study is wrong. I have skipped breakfast most of my life. hasnt made a difference for me at all


    Ya still u cant say study is incorrect.. it might be based on general theory and exceptions are there.. Lets say for example I find very easy to skip breakfast despite of 5 km run.. while my wife start fainting if she doesnt eat till 10 am..

    it is wrong because it says that ladies shouldnt skip breakfast which is a crock of crap. what does being female and skipping breakfast have to do with anything?
