    @abowersgirl I have been fasting for a while! I do 16:8, eating from noon-8 p.m. daily. I previously ate from 3-8, and I haven't done that in a while. I use the Vora app. Fasting does have some possible health benefits that haven't been too rigorously studied yet (e.g., cellular repair), but my main reason is that I'm on 1200 calories, and fasting helps me keep my hunger and caloric intake in check. Ironically, as you've likely noted, when you regularly fast, you're less hungry at the times you would have eaten.

    Ultimately, it's still your overall calories that matter more than the fasting time. I've done 32-hour fasts, 19-hour, etc., and they haven't worked any better for weight loss than counting calories. Find your comfort zone!



    Thanks for sharing this! My dr wants me to try this.

    @FarmerCarla thank you for the encouragement. I did not run or jog when younger, somehow the older me thinks it would be a good idea.
