Question about Intermittant Fasting
Hello, almost all the Keto literature and research I read discusses the benefits of IF. With a decrease in appetite after only 10 days I have been having my first meal around 12 noon, maybe a snack at 3 if I feel hungry and dinner by 6. Nothing after dinner and nothing (except coffee) until I eat around 12 noon the next…
