    Hey, so I don't have a extensive history with IF but I did stuck with it for 2 weeks and I saw awesome results. The hardest part for me was the weekends. Good luck and try and stick with it. Ps. You might have just motivated me to give IF another go

    Listen to your body when it comes to lifting weight and diet changes. I am working on going lower carb. I tried to do it all at once and my workouts sucked. Now I'm counting my marcos and reconfiguring my diet slowly. When it starts effecting my workouts I'll stop lower my carbs. Just keep experimenting. What weight lifting program are you doing?

    There's a group on here for IFers. Sorry can't link, on mobile.

    Also if you're struggling have you tried varying the length of your fast? There's lots of different ways to IF. I for example am using the 5:2 method (2 days fasting, 5 days normal eating).
