Doing a 3/21 hours intermittent fasting with low carb diet (because of diabetes) and the result: lost 52 pounds in 4 months. Still way to go to my tarhet weight (30 pounds more to lose).

    What's the plan once you reach your goal? Will you continue with 3/21 IF? Will you continue with low carb? I lost most of my weight on a 8/16 (or is it 16/8 for an 8 hour eating window???) intermitent fast. Low carb was not sustainable for me, but greatly reducing process carbs (like bread & pasta) and leaning more towards fresh fruits & vegetables resulted in success. It also afforded me a greater ease of transition into "maintenance" when the weight loss phase was through. Good luck to you, and keep an eye toward how you're gonna live the rest of your life!!!

    Well it's impossible for me to continue this way all life.after reaching my target, i only plan to calorie counting to maintain weight and a much reasonable daily carb intake for my diabetes. I think i will start with 120 g/day.
