    Hello; how are you doing IF? Are you doing alternate-day fasting, or a couple of full day fasts per week, or time-restricted eating?

    I can't do alternate-day or full-day fasting yet as I am still on one diabetic medication and my blood sugar drops too low if I don't eat at least once per day.

    I do time-restricted eating (TRE), I usually do 16:8 or sometimes 18:6 every day.

    If something comes up, like an occasional party or holiday, or if I was sick and didn't feel like eating in the day but I get hungry at night, I will go off it a bit. But generally unless there is an unusual circumstance, I do it every day.

    it’s best to try to do IF every day as your body gets used to feeding time and once it does the hunger factor isnt much of an issue.
