Has anyone experimented with intermittent fasting?

I eat my first meal in between 11:00-12:00 everday ( I wake up at 6:30 am). I try to eat everything withen an 8 hour window and I am never hungry,

Yep, I do 16:8 lean gaisn style and love it. It fits perfectly into my lifestyle. It took a little bit of time to adjust to but once you get used to it you don't really get that hungry anymore

An eight hour eating window is what I naturally do anyway...just like when I was a child. So, yes, I do IF - it's what works for me to be able to eat two large meals a day. I just never knew it had a name until a couple years ago.

Find what works for you. It's always about calories and adherence.

I don't have any hard and fast rules about my eating habits, but I generally just have coffee in the mornings, and then either nothing until I get home from work or a Clif bar, baked oatmeal, or something similar between 2 and 4pm and iced coffee with a little milk when I get home.

I like to eat something small like that in the late afternoon/early evening because I do most of my workouts when I get home from work, between 5 and 7, depending on the day, and want something to fuel them.

Then I eat dinner and a variety of snacks over the course of the evening. Most of my eating happens between 6 and 10pm, but as I say, nothing hard and fast about it. If I get really hungry, I'll eat lunch and another snack. I just find that I feel hungrier and have a more difficult time controlling my food choices and my portions if I eat breakfast and lunch regularly.

I did it back when I was losing weight. Combined with a keto diet it worked wonders. I'm currently in a bulking phase, eating close to 4000 calories, so it's not ideal for me and this current time. It takes some getting used to that's for sure. Water is your BFF early on until you adapt to the eating style.

I started out believing I had to eat "six meals per day". Lost weight just fine. Was never really hungry but was never really full either.

Then I heard people having great success with IF so I tried that. Lost weight just fine. Pretty easy for me because I dont really like eating first thing in the morning.

Saw no difference in weight loss between the two other than I sometimes ate when I was not really hungry on the six meals per day.

I now have coffee in the morning and then eat breakfast when I get hungry. (Usually around 12-1) So I guess technically I still follow IF unless its the weekend and want to eat with the family.

I believe the benefits are a little over stated and weight control comes down to managing calories far more than meal timing. People are going to see the best results from whatever they can stick to. Try it out and if it you like it then great but if you dont like it find something else that you can stick to.
