I thought IF had been added to the Launch Pad, but I don't see it.....

I have naturally evolved to a one meal per day eating plan. This was not intentional, although I love to fast. I found that eating keto keeps me feeling satisfied, so I first gave up eating lunch, then switched to BPC for breakfast and skipped eating breakfast, then gradually switched to black coffee for breakfast and throughout the morning. My one meal at supper is very satiating. I simply do not usually have the desire to eat until supper now. So I guess I have an over 23 hour fasting period every day.

I also like to do extended fasts of 48-72 hours at least once per week. I might have two shorter fasts or one longer one, depending on my schedule and how I feel.

This has given me much greater control over what I eat, and I enjoy the benefits as well. Increased mental clarity, elevated mood and amazing energy while fasting. I seldom feel hungry.

I don't really think you are fasting if you are drinking BPC or other fatty drinks between meals...I just started learning about this, but most things which I've read only allow about 50 calories during the fast in order to stay in fasted state. Please continue to do your research. I am SOO not against BPC/Buttered Tea, but if you are truly looking to fast, you shouldn't drink that many calories during your fasting window. Good luck!

I eat a variety of foods. Usually meat or eggs or both. Very few vegetables, mainly as garnish, maybe one serving per day. My supper could be burger patties with cheese, mayo, mustard etc. The other day I ate 3 small burgers, enough to fill me up. I made one of the patties into a mini pizza with pepperoni and mozzarella. Supper could be Thai chicken curry with coconut milk and a few token veggies. Supper is often a plate of roasted meat of any kind. Yesterday was a bowl of 190 g of ground beef and pork, with a wee bit of black bean noodles, homemade tomato sauce and cheese, very fatty and full of protein and filling. My meal sometimes is well planned out, or it could be bacon and 3-4 eggs. I made beef stroganoff a couple of weeks back.

I tend to love to fast, so I will plan a special meal that I am craving and make enough for the kids to eat for a couple of days, I'll get my fill then just not eat for a couple of days. This is so simple and easy and takes meal prep worries away. I don't even really worry about what I'm going to eat. I'm not constantly thinking of food. I just eat my one big meal, that might not even be a large quantity but it is so full of fat that it is filling, then I know I don't have to eat again for 23-24 hours, or more. I really like this woe. I even have a wee bit of chocolate dipped in whipped cream and I am happy.

Oh that one was so yummy! The coconut milk really fills me up. I'll have to make it with shrimp next.

The other thing we'll have to make is coconut milk chocolate pudding with cocoa and egg yolks, with whipped cream on top... That'll be for Valentine's Day.
