HI, I'm glad that there is a new group for 8 hour diet. I was doing this for a week 2 months ago. And yep. Feel more energy on this. It helps me on discipline. Anyways, anybody here who's doing this? 'Cuz Right now, I'mma bout to do this again, 10am-6pm is my 8 hour time today. My diet consists of complex carbs like white rice, sometimes junk foods like chips. I still lose weight though. as long as I eat any kinds of food in moderation. and as long as I can fit em into my calorie goals0

wow, thats great. Uhm, do u not feel thirsty while on 8 hour diet? The last I did it was only for a week. Today is like my first time of doing this again. After the 8 hour eating window I had to eat a menthol candyjust to soothe my feeling and I don't like the oily food left on my mouth from eating corned beef. Lol. Already brushed my teeth but, the taste just wont :go away. I wonder ilf I broke my fast already.:l I hope not.0

yep, I did lost during that week. I remember I was at a plateau at 130 pounds during that time and my appetite sucks due to hormones(pms lol!). From what I remembered I've lost 1.5 pounds in 7 days. I'm pretty sure if I'm taller, I would have lost more weight. :-D0

have a great day. plan on reading some of those links that0 -
I am on this right now. I have been doing the odd day for a couple weeks and I read the book, read lots of websites on it, etc.
I do notice the difference in how I feel when I stick with it (and I lose weight if I don't eat to much junk food). Important to not go absolutely crazy during the 8 hours if you want to lose weight but you also do not need to eat low cal as the fasting period helps your body burn fat vs muscle. See my links in one of the first posts so that you can understand it better.
Regarding thirst you can still drink outside the 8 hour eating window...in fact its encouraged as it helps fill you up. The key is to have no calorie drinks (ideally water, green tea, etc.) or if you have to have milk/cream in your coffee you keep total calorie amount to under 50 calories. I do this every morning with my coffee.0 -
Thanks halftolosde I plan on reading some of links tonight.0

I forgot to mention that you can choose how many days per week you want to do this. The book suggested at least three for weight loss results. You can also alter the 8 hour window from day to day if you have social events to deal with.
I personally prefer 12-8 but sometimes if I am really hungry in the morning I move it to 11-7. I find keeping busy in the morning is the key.
I did it yesterday and was 1.4 lbs lighter this morning - of course some of that is water weight but I sure felt less bloated and a bit lighter this morning.0 -
