Hey hey!! So I've been intermittent fast for alittle over a month and I can't praise it enough!!! I've started to incorporate juicing throughout the morning and what a difference! ! .. yea it's tough at times, but it's amazing how fast ur body adapts! Is there anyone else on here intermittent fasting?

Please don't do that to your self. It's unhealthy0

Haha! It's actually the healthiest way to eat. I'll gladly educate you, if you'd like.. but to make a negative comment about something you don't know or fully understand is sadning. It's the best I've ever looked and felt. But you saying it's un healthy is your opinion but it actually being healthy for you is proven fact.. but I am open for questions and thoughts and opinions3

I just listened to a podcast on that and it really sounded good. How did you start was thinking about doing that0

Well.. it's funny that you ask.. I first learned about it from a YouTube video of two twin body builders that fast for 20 hours aday.. and they are at 8%body fat.. so from the research that I did and from all I've read, 20 hours of fasting is more for someone who gradually got there... it's not really recommend for someone first starting the program simply because your body hasn't quite adapted from not eat 3,4,or even 5 times a day.. so it's hard and discouraging to start right at 20 hours of fasting... but if u have enough will power,drive and determination,with realistic goals that will continue to make u push harder because of seen results then shoot for 20... but I would recommend starting at 16 hours 8pm to 12 pm lunchtime. And consume your 2500 calories or less if u wanna be in a caloric negative, till 8 pm again. And coffee is a great hunger suppression tool.. and if you can hold off drinking that first coffee till u actually start getting hungry it'll help you go even further throughout the day before eating... and then as you progress you can then start shorting your eating window and fasting for longer periods of time. .mind you water will be your best friend.. I can go on and on on.. does and fonts what to eat what to not eat too1

Why do you say it's unhealthy?
Personally I don't see why people get so hung up on subscribing to one particular way of eating every day. Some days I can do IF and eat between 12-8pm on two or three meals. Other days I want something to eat upon waking up so adjust other meals accordingly. I enjoy less frequent but bigger meals more. Small meals do nothing for me, everybody has different preferences.0 -
Exactly! !! They whole basis of flexible dieting!!0

Alternate Day Fasting is the best diet I have ever tried0

I've had good weight loss results with 19/5 fasting, but I found it hard to get all the micronutrients and photochemicals in one or two big calorie dense meals. I can't believe I never thought about combining it with juicing. I'd probably keep the juice within my eating window, but I will definitely try this next time I want to drop weight. Thanks for the tip!
By the way, there is at least one group on MFP devoted to various forms of IF. If you want support from people knowledgeable about a particular diet style, groups are the way to go.0 -
I've been watching their videos because I need to lose weight and get control of my cholesterol. I've been following the fastingtwins for a week now and watching their videos. I have to wait a little before I start since I was hospitalized a week ago with a heart attack. Since I've been out of the hospital I've been reading and trying to look in to a program that I can do and loose some weight. Of course I want to bring this up to my doctor so how should approach the program?0

This is perfect because I have a question! I want to get into juicing so do have any recommendations on juicers? And that's awesome by the way, keep doing what you're doing0

I am a big fan of IF as well, it works! I do take a cleanse and do a few things to keep my metabolism functioning at full capacity. At most I cleanse two days in a row and it is awesome for shredding and is healthy as long as you drink lots of water!0

There is an intermittent fasting group here. Just search for it in the groups section.0
-
Ok, I have heard about this, but haven't tried it. So, you eat all your calories from 12noon to 8pm??0
-
I do intermittent fasting and I stand by it!0
-
I have read about this. I wonder, can you combine intermittent fasting with low-carb high-fat dieting?0

Studies prove it works

Fantastic!! Thanks for the literature. I'm all for empirical data.0 -
A lot of people have good results from IF but it's not for me. Best of luck to you.0

I lost 12 pound in a month doing it! I love it!0
