What type of support? I always skip the first meal of the day and sometimes the second meal but it will always depends on how I feel. If I have a big exercise day, I gotta have lunch or I will eat my arm by dinner.7

I’ve been intermittent fasting since the beginning of the year. I’ve lost about 4 pounds so far. I eat between noon and 7pm. I’ve also restricted my sugar intake.5

Yes, I would like to by your IF buddy! 🤗0

I'd suggest that if you need support to stick to an IF way of eating then IF might not be the right approach for you.
Some people (myself included) find that some kind of restricted eating pattern makes it *easier* to meet our calorie targets. There's nothing special or magical about IF and if it doesn't make things easier for you then it makes little sense torturing yourself for no reason. Just something to think about.13 -
Gotta agree with Danp. I do IF because I find it the easiest way to diet. If I found it hard, I wouldn't do it.
I'm a big fan of noon to 7 pm for the window.6 -
Hey! I started IF about 2 ish weeks ago, going great so far. I dont see many people on mfp doing IF. I try to stick to 16:8 but most of the days i manage more than 16h. Dont really feel much hunger anymore

Hi. I have started intermittent fasting from January 12th. At first I was doing 16/8 but in the last week I managed to do 18/6. I like this way of eating. My body adjust and fasting is not too difficult anymore (even though I do have easier and harder days).
My main issue is that I'm not losing any weight. In my eating window I am eating clean and healthy. I'm doing the clean fast. I'm eating healthy and not too much nor too little.
First week i lost a couple of pounds but the week after I gained them back and this is usually the pattern I follow. Maybe my problem is that I ate healthy before so it's not a big change or I don't have a lot of pounds to lose so it is harder? ( I would like to lose about 8-10 pounds).
I work out 2 times per week and walk a lot.
I don't mind keeping this way of lifestyle because I do feel good when fasting but I just wanted to see if anybody had the similar problem so I know if the weight will go down eventually.
thank you.1 -
Thanks for sharing ReaGaladriel. I’ve been intermittent fasting for about 1 month now. I’ve lost about 6 pounds during this time. At some point I’m going to level off and have to maintain. It seems like you level off for the most part. Looking at your profile picture you look very nice.0

Neither time restricted eating nor eating 'clean' are a guarantee of weight loss, you still need to be in a calorie deficit. Are you tracking your calories? Using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all of your food and checking database entries for accuracy?
With only a small amount of weight to lose, it's going to be slow (you should be aiming for 0.5lb per week), and very easily masked by water weight fluctuations. Using a weight trending app can help smooth out fluctuations so that you can see if you are losing. For a pre-menopausal woman, you really need 4-6 weeks of weight loss data to gauge. I've been bouncing around much the same weight for seven days now (down a little overall on scale weight), but my weight loss trend is still heading down nicely.7 -

I’m guessing it’s the current iteration of Bulletproof coffee—coffee with butter or oil added.0
