I don't specifically follow IF, but I generally only eat between 7am and 2pm during the week, which would be 17:7. I wake up at 2 but don't eat until 7, 10 and about 1:45/2, but then that's pretty much it for the rest of the day. I think it works like that because I try to have filling food, like my greek yogurt, something with a lot of protein in it. We are all wired a little different, so you would just want to find your happy place. As long as your calories are lower and keep you full... it doesn't matter when you have them.DaffyGirl88 wrote: »murdog3t and anyone else who does IF, how do you do it without being ravenously hungry? Or, how do you IGNORE being ravenously hungry? I'm asking because I have considered trying it many times but that always stops me. Last year when I had to fast for my *oscopy I thought I'd die!! That or freeze to death. Are you cold? Stupid question, how could you be with this heat right?
So I guess I'm looking for any helpful hints or lessons learned that have helped you with your journey. Thanks!
plus, make it something you can enjoy!

👋 it’s was hard at first but it’s what I prefer I have been doing it for 2 yrs now ( not always keto but always IF) I get cold but I just put on a sweater hehe 😉. The hunger subsides eventually. I get hungry around 2 pm but try. (Big word) not to eat till 3 or 4 . Some days window is longer some days shorter. ( especially on Saturday) If you try it your body will tell you when it’s time to eat. Try this next time you get hungry try having a big glass of water (sometimes your body is thirsty not really hungry) I also believe it helps with inflammation and so far this 2 years not even 1 cold ( knock on wood) I did get a headache the first few days 2 yrs ago but not so much anymore unless I eat way too many carbs . Dr Berg & Dr Mandy , Thomas DeLauer, and Dr Ken Berry on YouTube have loads of info
Have a great day0 -

Today was a bad day all around... I had a tooth abscess come on suddenly, my jaw is in severe pain, I left work 3hrs early and had to go to the dentist. Forked over way too much money for a surgery I am now having a week from Monday-all four wisdom teeth yanked out at once... I'm extremely emotional because TOM is coming, I cried while eating salad because it hurt that bad, and I find out the dentist office closed at 5 and NEVER SENT MY ANTIBIOTIC PRESCRIPTION IN!!!!! I am just ugh... over today!!! And now, with absolutely ZERO relief from my tooth, I am out of work tomorrow. 😑4 -

Outstanding job on the weight loss! This is a little silver lining to your bad day. A tooth abscess is so painful--I am so sorry to hear this, and hope the medication brings you some relief.0 -

I felt good about yesterday because after dinner, I cut my serving of strawberry shortcake in half so I could stay under calories. And it was really all I needed; I didn't feel like I was missing anything.
The area around my eyes is really swollen at the moment because of a poison ivy reaction. I'm very sensitive to it. However, I got some prednizone yesterday from doctor and it seems to be helping a bit already. I haven't felt like exercising, but I think I can do something today. I bought some hand weights the other day.1 -

Sorry about the poison ivy. I cannot imagine having it around my eyes. I hope it goes away soon.0 -

@DaffyGirl88 great loss!
@erikNJ thank you so much! I will be picking up my antibiotics shortly and hopefully some relief will be on it's way! It's a real bummer, but I am glad that I will eventually get this mess taken care of!0
