I didn’t come here to argue, nor did I encourage anyone who wasn’t already practicing fasting to start. I was merely looking for others who already participated in fasts. We can go back and forth all day with conflicting information but thats not what this post was about.

I’ve found an improvement in my energy levels and well as my depression and brain fog with fasting as well as studies done showing improvements in those areas with others as well. There are also several studies available discounting that muscle wasting occurs with fasting. I’m not familiar with the gall bladder issues from…

Decreases inflammation thus decreasing pain, higher energy levels, autophagy (tons of benefits alone) increased fat burning, gut healing, decreased insulin resistance or increased sensitivity, good for fatty liver, benefits for a wide array of skin conditions just to name a few. I have seen nothing but benefits for myself…

It’s not for everyone. I’ve done a lot of research on the topic. Benefits and risks and what steps to take to ensure that I am fasting safely. I am sorry you had a bad experience.

I don’t have a specific number. I’ve done 48s before, currently doing a 72. I’m just looking for others who are interested.

Welcome!!

Hi Donna!! Welcome.

I am having the same problem with adding friends 😡

Sorry my phone isnt working properly. I have fibromyalgia and have found that cutting sugar and carbs has decreased my pain substantially.

You all look great!!!

I dont have a gallbladder but luckily I dont seem to have those issues 🤷‍♀️

I have so much less pain with keto too.

I love how I feel doing IF/OMAD. Its hard at first but worth it I think.

Im just getting back on track with keto and intermittent fasting/omad.

Feel free to add me everyone 🥰

Hi Ann!!

What do you feel is the most beneficial result from IF?

Wow!! I definately couldnt do that.

OMAD?

Fasting for 16, (at least)

It is my eating pattern however I do drink cream in my coffee which Im seeing some say it doesnt break your fast and others say it does. I was looking into the rules for fasting. Up until a few days ago I didnt know about IF or that it was what I was basically doing but at that time it wasnt done for any particular reason.…

You have both addressed the issue Im having. I dont eat until after 1pm however I do drink coffee with cream and Im finding conflicting research on whether that breaks your fast or not. I gave up my flavored creamers when I started Keto this time but I dont know if I can get enjoyment out of drinking black coffee LOL

Im just starting, 16:8.

Im surprised by the difference of opinions on what breaks a fast. Some say anything with calories, others say anything sweet tasting, some say depends on macros involved.

Im just doing the research but currently my eating pattern is 16/8 so I figured Id look into IF and its benefits.

Feel free to add me, whoever wants to
