Well how I do it is. I fast bout 16-18 hours between meals and then eat.

I generally try to eat only between 3-9pm. That's what works best for my lifestyle.

If this is what you are looking to try, you need to make sure that you are able to eat all your calories in a shorter time frame. If you can't do this, for whatever reason..,. then IF may not be for you.

Read the FAQs for the Intermittent Fasting Group, which someone else just posted.

I do a mild version a few times a week. I don't eat after dinner for 14 hours, which means I usually have my first meal around 12:30 p.m. (I often eat late at night.) During the fast portion, I drink black tea or coffee, water, and chew sugarless gum.

I try to limit my eating window and meal size every other day. So, on a fast day, I'll usually eat only a small snack in the mid afternoon and then dinner. On a normal day, I'll eat whenever I want but try to keep it in a healthy range of calories. I find that the every other day thing keeps me from feeling deprived.

Ok thanks for everyones comments .I think I do that anyway. I never eat breakfast and I eat after 4pm after working out.so it seeems perfect.
