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?
