Morning fasting

You mean, skipped breakfast? You don't have to eat breakfast if you don't want to.

One less meal a day helps some people keep their calories down.

That IS true for many people. For others, skipping meals causes them to binge later, though. It's whatever works for the individual.

Srsly. Just eat when u feel hungry and don't when you're not.

I've been doing the intermittent fasting. For breakfast I drink a cup of coffee and that helps until I eat at 11:30 am (brunch) then I workout around 2:00 (working out and drinking water helps feel full) I eat a snack after my workout and then I eat dinner around 7:00 and then I fast for the next 16 hours. If I get hungry after 7:00 I just drink water. I've been doing this for the past 2 weeks and I've lost about 10lbs so far. It works for me and my daily schedule and after 3 days, it got easier. I don't really get hungry anymore.

Fantastic results well done!

Your routine looks similar to what mine could be, but I do classes at gym either 12 or 1pm so probably looking to have breakfast 10-11am, I'm up early though like 5/6am. I'm on day three of just morning fast not really limiting too much rest of day and scales already 3lbs down I'm really excited to see the results I can get

There are many people on here who will not understand fasting as they believe dieting is only about calories and that you should eat regularly. However it is possible to skip breakfast and not binge later. For anyone who is Type 2 Diabetic or Pre-Diabetic, or simply wants to burn more fat than is stored, the key to weightloss is hormone control. There is plenty of information on YouTube from leading professors around the world who disagree with the current standard american diet (and european government diets too)

Doing a breakfast fast is the best time of day for it. And yes you should see results. As your body adapts to burning fat you won't feel hungry either. Personally I prefer only eating once per day, so when doing that my fasting lasts for 23 hours.

Good luck!

When I do it is laziness. Gonna start calling it intermittent fasting though.

When I skip breakfast, my pre-lunch glucose reading is usually in the 120's. When I eat breakfast, it is closer to 100.

Are those the kinds of results you are looking for?

I did the "One-Meal-A-Day" thing back in 1994, eating my one BIG meal at 2pm each day and lost 94 lbs in just over 1 year but it turned me into a Type-2 diabetic by 1997 (at the age of 37--diabetes runs in the family but typically hits at a later age, so this was unexpected). My body, eventually, just could not handle all the high carbs I was eating at that one meal, day after day, year after year. I probably would have been OK had I kept my carbs at that meal to 100 grams (maybe even 150 grams) but I liked my carbs (a lot) and would easily end up at with around 300-400 grams of them (at a minimum) in my one-meal-a-day meals.

Yes, I just started intermittent fasting (16:8). I pretty much have black coffee for breakfast (with a tablespoon of coconut oil in it), then eat breakfast around 10:30-11am and I stop eating at 6:30-7pm. If I get hungry after that time, then I drink water or green tea. I am also Pre-Diabetic, so I try to eat clean...lots of veggies, lean protein and good fat like avocado.
