Intermittent Fasting. Anyone tried it?

Hmmm this sounds really interesting. I can't see it working for me right now, but I am at a unique and thankfully short phase of life-studying for the bar. I actually like the small meals now bc I'm pretty much sitting on my couch all day studying. But this sounds like it would have been perfect for me when I was still in school and working, and I will probably switch to this in August when I start working (fingers crossed!!) full time. Thanks for sharing!!
Also.... Is a little squeeze of lemon or lime in water during fasting times ok or no?0 -
I wish it worked for me. I started IF in February with high hopes (LG style). For the following four months I plateaued despite my caloric deficits amounting to what should have been .5 lb loss a week. I love having larger meals later in the day...but while I'm still focusing on fat loss, this approach was not successful for me. Once I started eating a light breakfast again a few weeks ago - the weight started dropping. Coincidence? I don't think so. I think IF is suitable for a variety of people and you won't know if it works for you until you try it. But I think there may be something to gender, weight, and goals to be accounted for here. Sadly - it didn't work for me for my intended purpose but was useful for recomping. Women's hormones are much more sensitive so all I'm saying is caveat emptor.
I agree its not best for everyone.. I just LOVE the convenience of it right now. I am so happy u found something that works for u!

So pre workout meal aside (which would be about 15 minutes before workout if it's a drink) I would fall within the recommendations for women of 10 hours of eating since it would be 11:30-8:30 from breakfast to dinner?
Sorry for my ignorance. I'm trying to learn.
Looks right!0 -

The guy who wrote Eat Stop Eat says lemon is OK... Not sure about Leangains stance on it.0 -

I don't think a squeeze of lemon or lime would matter, I've read that putting a bit of milk in coffee while in the fasted state isn't a big deal even though it technically breaks the fast.0 -

I'm sorry that you didn't see results from it, I'm sure it's just one of those things that doesn't work for everyone. If you hit another plateau while on your current plan of eating a light breakfast you can always try IF again and maybe you will see better results a second try.0 -
When I started all this a few months ago, I started diligently eating breakfast, eating small meals, etc. My body did change, but the scale was slow to move (did not matter much, but that's what happened). A few weeks ago, I went back to my old way of eating, which mostly involves skipping breakfast, so I do a sorta loose interpretation of IF whenever I feel like it, and now I appear to have lost a bunch of weight. For me, it's an easier, more natural way to eat, and apparently helps with weight loss.0

Well I have heard of fasting and I have fasted before. Usually what I started 2 wks ago, is I fast through the morning from when I go to be till 12. Then I eat my lunch a salad and some fruit. After I get home between 4:30 and 5:00pm I eat, then I work out and after my workout around 9 or 10pm I start to get hungry, but I have some milk or 1/2 cup of cereal or 1 or 2 rice cakes. My question is if I do phase 2, which is have my biggest meal between 8 and 9, won't that just make me gain more weight. i have heard over and over don't eat past 7 or 8pm because that's when you gain the most weight. Can I get some feedback please.0

Eating late and gaining weight from doing so is a myth that's been blown out of proportion. You can eat late at night and even before bed, it does not harm anything. A lot of people say that you shouldn't eat late at night because that's when most people binge and go over their calories for the day. The only way you can gain weight is to be in a caloric surplus, as long as you're not in a surplus it does not matter if you were to eat right before bed.0 -

I think, sometimes, the misconception is that we generally weigh more in the morning if we eat later at night. But, the truth is that this weight is not fat. This is just a weight that reflects water weight and the fact that what we ate the previous night has not been excreted.0 -
I've done 16/8 and it worked well to keep calories in a defecit. You can eat larger meals later in the day rather than grazing all day on little 200-300 calorie meals. You also don't need to pack as many lunches etc.
I would just drink a shake and have some fish oil capsules before my workout. Then eat a few meals after the workout. My maintenance is 1800 calories a day and eating 6 300 calorie meals sucked!
I did this protocol for about 6 weeks. Didn't lose any muscle or strength so the myth about your metabolism slowing down and all of your muscle being eaten up is b.s. I was kind of doing it as an experiment after reading Pilon's "eat stop eat" book.
Anyway, I still do it some days. Some days I'll not eat all day until dinner. Some days I will eat breakfast and not again until my preworkout meal. Its flexible to how you want to do it. You still need to keep your calories and macros where you want them to be but not worrying about eating 6 times a day because you fear your metabolism is going to be shot was a life changing experience for me.
If you like eating many small meals then keep doing it. If you think its a pain int he *kitten* then try IF. Its not going to hurt your gains or progress. It can only help.0 -
I think the verdict is overwhelmingly positive by this point, but I wanted to throw my two cents in there. IF is flippin' awesome. Easy, effective, and frees you from the shackles of eating. Great resources are Lean Gains and Eat Stop Eat. Definitely start with either of those if you're interested. Here's a decent review of the later

IF frees you from one set of shackles and binds you in a new set. You reduce a 16-18 hour window to 8-10 hours. How is that removing the shackles? I eat when I want to. I am only concerned with eating around my workout for the most part.I think the verdict is overwhelmingly positive by this point, but I wanted to throw my two cents in there. IF is flippin' awesome.

People go into fasting thinking that they are going to get ripped. NEWS flash, you eating 5,6,7 meals a day is not the problem. The problem is your calorie control.
Oh and I was on IF for three months. So, I do have a little experience with it.0 -

You say shackles I say options. Lets face it, we wouldn't be on this site if we didn't have to 'shackle' ourselves one way or another in order to get the body we want. For me and many others, fasting is a less painful shackle than eating more frequent low cal meals. I totally accept that for other natural grazers the opposite is true. However you must admit that the current mainstream belief is very heavily skewed towards the "breakfast starts your metabolism and you have to keep eating every couple of hours to keep it going" rhetoric. I don't think it hurts to let people know that they don't have to if it doesn't suit them
As for going into it thinking you'll get ripped, couldn't the same be said for just about anything. There is always going to be the desperate uninformed minority that think something is a magic bullet.... its hardly unique to IF. look at paleo, there are people who seem to think that they can eat anything as long as its clean... um no.0 -

And time after time I see people say "I tried the multiple meal thing and it didn't work". Like fasting is going to cure their lack of calorie control. Even with the Leangains method you're still eating MULTIPLE meals (2-3) so the notion of not eating multiple meals is null and void.As for going into it thinking you'll get ripped, couldn't the same be said for just about anything.

Instead of being concerned about eating "meal 6" you're now concerned about eating in your "window" or wondering if you fasted long enough. Yeah, that's true freedom right there....0 -

What's the point of going on a forum to only post negativity? Do the world a favor and keep it to yourself. There's no shackles involved with IF, you eat in an 8 hour window, where is the shackles with that? No one has said that fasting will be the only reason for someone getting ripped, it's more than obvious that calories and the macronutrients you consume are what matters. The problem is that you fail to either notice or admit the benefits to IF, you'd rather post a biased bitter opinion that no one cares to hear about. News flash, IF works, end of the story. If you disagree or have some quarrels on IF then start your own thread to talk about it with like minded individuals.0 -

I never mentioned anything regarding a deceptive manifesto??? As, I said before. I have nothing against fasting per say. All I am saying is, it's no better than eating multiple meals. If you really want to learn more I suggest you join the leangains forum on facebook and I don't mean the one Martin started.

I think the whole point of a forum is to discuss ALL aspects of an issue, not just to hear from the posters who agree with the original poster (ie: you). While you may not agree with those who don't like or don't see any benefit to "IF", it is not your place to tell them they shouldn't be posting their opinions on what you call "YOUR" thread. I don't want to hear just one side of the issue, I want to hear other opinions and experiences as well. If you're unable to accept the fact that others have valid but differing opinions, perhaps YOU should be the one not posting.0 -

I have no interest in joining a group. Like I said in my original response to you. I just see it as another option, I actually didn't say it was 'freedom', just a choice for what I find to be an easier sacrifice. I just don't see in this post, what you are going on about. If there were some crazies in a Facebook group convinced you of something that wasn't true then I dont see how that is relevant here? IF is only superior if it's the one that you personally can comply with easier.0 -
I was never convinced by "some" crazies on a facebook channel. However those said crazies inhibit this forum and other forums around the Internet. As I stated before, I did IF long enough to form MY well thought out and detailed opinion on the matter.

OMFG how many ways are their to sell a calorie control diet.
All the people I 'look up to' on here just eat right, end of0 -
I love IF. No, it's not a magic bullet and it's not going to miraculously make the weight drop off while eating whatever you please. It is, however great for people like me, who do not like breakfast but do like big meals. I don't find the macro management difficult and I eat healthier, without feeling any need for "cheat" days.
The form of eating that is going to be successful for anyone is the one that suits them and their lifestyle, whether that be IF, primal, low carb or whatever.
I'm glad you enjoy it as well! That's one of my favorite things about it, the fact that I can eat large meals and feel like I'm indulging instead eating like a rabbit where I eat tiny meals throughout the day like some people think you're suppose to do.
I do this too. It feels natural and I feel well on it. I eat anytime from 3pm to 8pm and that works for me. I stick within my macros and workout at the gym just fine three mornings a week. People should do what their body appreciates. Mine likes not having to process food all through the day.0 -
On top of that a "window" of eating is applied to your life. Exactly how is this sustainable long term. You should read the comments of people freaking out cause they can't eat breakfast with their families, cause "they are out of their window" or the when they eat before their window.OMFG how many ways are their to sell a calorie control diet.
All the people I 'look up to' on here just eat right, end of
I have done the 6,7,8 meals and I have fasted. Now, I have gotten wiser and just whenever the **** I want to. I have made the best gains in my life and I don't stress about eating.0 -
I hate all these fad diets and ways of eating.
Your body works in a very basic way, less calories in than you body burns in a day then you will loose weight.
More calories in than you burn in a day, then you gain weight.
I can't see how these sites praise IF, talk to a doctor. IF is not good for your blood sugar levels your causing it to crash then spike.
This is how to end up as a diabetic over time.
Eat a good healthy balanced diet, spread across the whole day so it will keep your metabolism up and your blood sugar balanced.
It has been proven that it does not matter even if you eat a large meal then sleep, just as long as your calorie intake for the day is lower that what you burn.
KISS (keep it simple, stupid) eat when your hungry , drink when your thirsty. Everything in moderation and you can't go wrong.0 -

there is really no need to waste your energy "hating" and this site does not praise IF, some of the folks here praise it. I like it myself because I have gotten results. chill out. your first post and you got the hate goin already? thats not good for you.0
