I have been on the 16/8 Intermediate fasting for 3 weeks now and it’s really working for me. Thought I’d share and let you do your research into this way of nutrition.

    No intermediate.

    Well, in that case I already do that. I fast between meals.

    Dyou ever have a cheat day? Like a twinkie before next meal?

    Well sure. I’m only intermediate.

    Honestly, I’m kidding. I’m not snacking between meals. This week.

    I’m also a virgin to this even though I’ve been in the fitness industry for 20 years

    I fast from dinner to breakfast. So I'm probably in the advanced group.

    Haha

    I’m really using it to get down what I deem as an ideal weight. I’ve stopped weight training and just cycling and doing classes from YouTube like most people are atm.

    I’ve lost 4lbs on my first week! It’s hard but worth it.

    Does anyone do the 5/2 method, where you consume 500 calories 2 days a week and then eat around 2000 calories on the other days?

    I’m not following any set plan but I do tend not to eat after 7pm and then I eat bf at 9. That’s always felt right to me and cut down on my tummy feeling like crap before bed so I stick to it. During my eating hours I just eat bf, lunch and dinner without snacks. This helps me really control calories and know what I’m consuming, and I count my two glasses of wine as my dinner calories so it’s not in addition to food ( it’s part of my meal) When I start getting lazy about after dinner eating not only do I feel like crap while sleeping but I’ll start stressing those buttons on my jeans too, and we can’t have that😩

    I’m trying to fast two days a week. I gained 23 pounds in the last year and am feeling really bad about it. I’ve read quite a bit about intermittent fasting and it seems like a good option for me at the moment for a variety of reasons.
