I am currently fasting 16 hours a day, eating for 8 hours. Stop eating at 8pm and start eating at 12 noon. I am watching all simply carbs and walking 6 days a week 3 miles and out of the six days I am doing 5 mile walks.
I would like to incorporate weights at least 2 days out of the 6 days I am walking. I rest 1 day from exercise.

Any suggestions is welcome. Thank you.

    Not trying - I've been IF for several years 16:8 daily. Lost weight, sometimes gained weight but mostly maintained weight with it. I don't consider IF a diet, as I don't consider sleep a form of exercise.

    There are a lot others on here that do variations of IF. There are also a few very active groups.

    My fellow does that. We eat no later than 7, and he doesn't eat again till lunch at 11:30 the next morning. Drinks a cup of black coffee for breakfast.

    Been doing IF since Aug. 2013
    It's an eating strategy...if your goal is to lose weight it still comes down to Calories In vs. Calories Out

    Tried it,... hated how I always felt hunger, and dropped it. Now I just eat 3 large meals a day.
