IF questions are posted here from some who want to know more, particularly about feeding windows. I’m currently practicing IF and thought I’d start a discussion topic sharing my feeding windows for December 2018. I’ll not post other details but will do my best to answer any IF questions about my experiences.

Background: 63 year young male, 190.6 lbs. this morning “training” for a birthday 64 weight of 177.0 lbs. mid-February 2019. Started “training” on 8/31/2018 at 210.8 lbs. I train doing kettlebell workouts, burpees, pull-ups, walking and a little running.

Yesterday 11/30/2018 (not December) but my feeding doesn’t start until afternoon:

Start: 3:00 pm
Finish: 5:15 pm
Feeding window: 2 hours 15 minutes

    Noticed it gone too; didn’t do it, wouldn’t know how to.

    I’m sorry but I’m not sure I understand your question. If the “why are you doing it?” Is about me doing IF, it’s because I find it effective and efficient in helping me get to where I’m going.

    Start: 12:00 noon
    Finish: 4:50 pm
    Elapsed time: 4 hours 50 minutes

    Estimated chowing time: about 70 minutes.

    2 meals no snacks.

    Note: I plan to be done eating by 5:00 pm and no snacks.

    Start: 2:40 pm
    Finish: 5:00 pm
    Elapsed time: 2 hours 20 minutes.

    Estimated chowing time: probably 50 percent of window because I prepared and ate, then rinse, wash and repeated, basically a grazing snd extended late lunch.

    So, one meal and no snacks.

    Are you having any issues with hunger outside your feeding window? Are you eating in any particular way like keto or LCHF?

    Sometimes I do but honestly not often. It’s more likely for a beginner. Fat is my friend.

    I’m not eating keto, actually, my macros are all over the place varying from day to day.

    I try to keep sugar and cholesterol lower and protein seems to be lower. I also eat a lot of potatoes that after cooked I refrigerate so they become resistant starch. I’m eating lots of avocados. No snacks or liquid beverages although someone corrected me that my strong morning cup of black coffee does have a few calories.

    Hope this answers your questions, thanks for asking.

    I don't have a problem just not opening a thread that doesn't appeal to me.

    Congrats.

    I like to think interacting online bears a passing resemblance to Real Life in which people receive normal social cues that guide their understanding about what others do and do not want to hear them waffle on about.

    It’s obvious some here have no interest about one person’s IF feeding window but there are others here curious. Tis the nature of discussion forums. Snide posts noted and ignored.

    ESP considering there is nothing directly special or advantageous with IF...
