I've been Keto since January 1st. I've lost nearly 50 pounds but wanting to incorporate IF. I'd love to find others who do both.

    I've been doing keto about 5 months now. Down 55 lbs. The first 3 months I was also IF doing a 6:18 fast. Since I've stopped I haven't really noticed any difference in how I feel or the progress of my weight loss. Definitely still a fan of IF though.

    Yes. I do the 16:8 mostly and a couple 20:4's. I'm trying to work my way up to a 24 hour. I am losing weight slowly (but a normal rate 1-2pds per week). I do it for the effect on my type 2 diabetes and weight loss. I am having positive results. I tend to keep my net carbs closer to 50 than 20 however.

    Good morning fellow "Intermittent fasting" friends. I wanted to give an update on my progress. I have been part of learning this lifestyle for about 2 months now. It was recommended by my doctor. After listening to the audio book, "The Obesity Code" by Jason Fung, I decided to give intermittent fasting a try. Also, I have mild type-2 diabetes. I started by doing 16:8 and have progressed to the 18:6 flavor intermittent fasting everyday. I do my fasting unlike most. I skip dinner instead of breakfast because I do my workouts in the morning, at the end of my fast. Sometimes the weekends are "wild card" days, because of church functions and other activities. Since I started this journey two months ago, I have lost about 20lbs and my A1C went from 5.7 to 5.2 (as of yesterdays doctor visit). I am looking forward to seeing what further goodness this lifestyle brings to me. I hope this is an encouragement to you. :-)

    Currently doing both keto/IF.

    Keto is a new experiment for me, one which I am liking so far.

    IF I have implemented for a few years when dieting and it helps me control my hunger and hit my calorie goal.

    IF anyone wants to add me, I have an open diary and post often. I'd love to see some more diaries that are from friends who IF and Keto.
