    Lots here use IF. For me it's a great way to stay within my calorie allotment.

    IF has helped me a lot. I'm always hungry later in the day so now I only way 2-10. I'm finally losing again.

    I don’t intermittently fast on purpose but I do find the days I do the results are amazing.

    From a eating and hunger point of view on the days when I have to sit down and work at a computer all day. I seems to be constantly hungry and want to eat all my 1200 cals before 9.00am and really struggle all day.

    On the days I skip breakfast head straight to the gym and don’t eat until about 1pm or 2pm, have a 500 cals meal and then don’t even want to look at food until the following morning. I do try and force myself to eat up to my 1200 on those days but I really struggle and find it difficult to even eat 800. I could very easy just have 500 cals on these days.

    Wow Louise. It sounds like you are almost doing a combo of 5:2 and intermittent fasting.
