So is there anyone out there that knows about or actually uses this way of life? If so I currently am preparing to (reastabish) this way of life. Why you ask did I stop? (If your concerned) well I had major bone surgery in my knee. So yeah it nocked me out!! I went from 240 strong muscle to now currently 330>:(.. I know it works and love the way I feel when living this way. Now if you are already living this way and u want a fasting bro shoot me a friend doomaflatchy. If your not living this way and are interested I'll share info about it or you can watch the hodgetwins.(funny,graphic,helpful)

share like help others or ignore its all up to you!
11/8/15 is when I start all over with fasting come join me on disssss appppp.!!

    Are you meaning proper intermittent fasting or this 5:2 fad? If so I used the specific hours one and lost 7 stone in over 2 years. You should go on YouTube and look up hodge twins for this if it's not the 5:2 thing as they explain real fasting and the best way about it and they have proven results. Let me know what you think

    No straight up 18-16 hour fasts and ur 4-6 eating window.. I didn't even know there is a fad or Variation about it? When I did a 6-16 it was great I could easily maintain, cut, or bulk. With this app it will be even easier. I watch hodgetwins on the reg.

    I just started intermittent fasting 2 weeks ago. Been losing about a pound a week but it has limited my cravings. I fast 18 hours eat within a 6 hour window.

    For those of us who love it, I.F. is the way to go. I don't think it's for everyone but I love, love, love this lifestyle. 18:6 for me too. I still have to count calories because I could easily go over. I went on maintenance all summer and it was great, but I still had to count. Back on restricted calories and I still get to feel full once a day. How great is that?

    You don't need specific macros. IF or 5:2 is just a method that may help you keep a consistent calorie deficit. For IF (eating window) you would eat the calories MFP provided, and tweak macros as needed to help you stay full. For 5:2 you would eat maintenance for 5 days and 500 calories the other 2. Here's a good maintenance calculator: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    Here are links to a couple of groups....lots of information there.

    This is "the fad" referenced above. It's really a method of zig-zagging your calories.....zig-zagging is nothing new, it's been around for decades.
