    I did IF leangains 16/8 for a few months lost a good bit initially, i get measured with biosignature method, (callipers on different sites of the body) I lost on all body fat sites except one, it was the supra site which can show insulin sensitivity, my trainer noted that my eating must be sporadic (didn't tell him I was doing IF) so this was v interesting to me.

    Have to say I did enjoy not having to eat all day at certain times and it has taught me that I'm not going to die/lose muscle/lower my IQ without food for a day!!!! Although I still was slightly preoccupied about food, as in what nice big feed I was planning for later and also the macro breakdown, juggling carb v fat days!

    So for the moment, as I've a goal I wanta reach in 16 days, I've decided to add in a small breakfast again, lower by carb intake and moderate my protein, now this fat site is moving in the downward direction, but it could be because I'm being more strict. A typical day now I would eat at 8am finish 7pm so it's not too bad but I obviously don't get the total regenerating effects of a true fast does. When I reach my goal I may well go back to 16/8 for the convenience it gives me but think I'll set my own macros...

    i love it, food tastes so much better when your not eating from the second you wake up, and also makes counting calories easier, never again will i go back to small frequent meals and also helps stay fuller which sounds weird since your aren't eating for most of the day

    n my non fast days i try to stick to around 1500 calories, as I no if i didnt track I would just binge. However i eat whatever I like, let it be crisp chocolate as long as i count it in. Does this sound ok?

    I have been doing the 18/6 intermittent fasting and the fat is just falling off. Im still eating the same ammount of calories I normally would but just in a 6 hour window. I'm kind of new to mfp. I used it for two weeks a while back and starting to use it again today. In just three days I've lost 5lbs and I'm very happy . just to note I wasnt eating very healthy leading up to 3 days ago :-/

    I've been IF'ing for about 3 months with the fat just melting off me as I sleep. I would like to get feedback from others that have been doing it as well

    Tomorrow will make it a week that I've been doing IF and so far I feel great. I'm happy to read that it's working for everyone. Make sure to add me I'd like to have a couple IF friends on my list.

    The thread you replied to is 10 years old... you would probably get more responses if you simply started a new thread.
