    What is 16:8

    That would be a eating schedule. A person on this schedule fasts for 16 hours straight then eats his/her full days calories within a 8 hour window.

    I do a combo of 4:3 & 16:8. Fast for 40 hours 0 cals 3 days a week & then the other day it's 16:8.


    I feel like I am always fasting. But it works for me

    Did it for about 3weeks, but stopped then.
    I know now what hunger is, but because of a change in my daily routin it doesnt work for me anymore.

    How long are you already on your combo?

    I only do 16:8 IF...even on "off" days. Has become a lifestyle to only eat after 12pm.
