    Please add me! I've been doing a 4:20 version of IF and have really seen my weight loss pick up. Would love friends who are on a similar journey :)

    When drinking during the fasting can you add a small amount of skimmed milk to a mug of tea?

    I've actually committed Intermittent Fasting to may daily life just recently. I started mid to late May of this year and so far have gone from 305lbs to 275lbs. With a workout 4-5 times a week and a 8:16 protocol. (8 hour eating window and a 16 hour fast.) Most days recently I've been doing 6:18 because I usuay eat at 12 or so and stop at 6 p.m. no matter what time I started that day.

    Seriously began 17:7 a week ago! I workout at lunch time, eat a protien-heavy lunch right after my workout and thats usually 1pm. I continue eating till 8pm (just healthy normal food) and start the 17 hour cycle fast at that time (8pm). Between 8pm and 1pm the following day I drink water, coffee and tea without sugar/cream. In a month's time I will weigh myself again. Is there a group for IF on Myfitnesspal or just this thread? If yes, please add me.

    Hi, this is my first time on MFP and the forum. So, excuse me if I miss any protocol.
    I've been thinking about giving IF a try lately. I haven't figured out which method to use. I think I might try 16:8. Did anyone have any side effects when they first began?

    Add me! I love IF . I have been doing IF for a few months. I also walk 3x week to get extra calories to eat. I need to manage my macros better though.

    Only way I can successfully diet. I fast after waking up and have a meal structure. Just started this week

    I usually push my first meal 4-8 hours after waking up, then feasting on a 1200 calorie meal lol

    What do you eat for the 1200 calories? I am really stumped with getting enough fat/protein and calories in daily ( I can only do a small amount of dairy, beef and eggs).

    I think technically if it has calories, then it breaks the fast. I have recently developed a taste for peppermint tea with NO sweetener lol.

    Resurrecting this thread as I need fasting buddies too!! I'm doing 5:2 with three days at 1600 Cals added and not counting at weekends (but being mindful of portions etc). Last week was my first week and I lost 4lbs - expect it to slow down from now on. I've done 5:2 in the past and love the flexibility - you can add an extra fast day if you need it or change your days around. I also like that it teaches me I don't need to have a biscuit with coffee or that hunger isn't as scary as you think it's going to be!!

    This is basically my holy grail. It's engrained in me now. I usually have my first meal around 2/3 pm the stop eating around 10 give or take. Not always BANG on time.. I'm not a slave to the clock but generally that's how I eat. I always. Get shredded with this especially if I incorporate fasted HIIT cardio... It's a wrap. I encourage anyone thinking about it to just give it go for a week. I can't see how you won't like it.
