Anyone else's doing it?
I've started recently to do the intermittent fasting 16/8 and I'm doing great!
Was a bit harder to know what to eat to break it and to start it but other than that it was fine.

* Are you doing it 7/7 ? (i do)
* What do you eat before you start it? (I go for a shake with PB on high fiber toasts)
* Any tips for working out while fasting ( I find it harder )

    I’m an IF practitioner and have been so for 6 months in my current fitness, health and wellness journey. Have generally had a 5 hour average feeding window but just started OMAD and now following a 2 hour feeding window.

    We have an Intermittent Fasting group here at MFP. Why don’t you join and share as otters there do.

    Breakfast between 8-9am workout at 11am lunch at 12 evening meal between 4-5pm nothing after that. That's just how my natural day pans out nothing special about it

    I have changed from 12/12 to 8/16 this week. Being type2 diabetic my main concern was to work out when to best take my meds. think I've got it sussed now. will be interesting to see if it has sped up my weight loss pattern.
