  • I am anxiously awaiting a response from the Intermittent fasting experts on this study. Usually they can find flaws with studies like this. For me, even if it does turn out eating late isn’t optimum, I don’t care. It works best for me. I have been doing intermittent fasting for over a year now, typically eating all my…

  • How about Intermittent Fasting through breakfast? I haven't eaten breakfast since January 20th. I do eat what I call "startfast" just before bed. Sunnyside-up egg on Arnold extra fiber bread with malt vinegar, salsa, and cayenne pepper. 188 calories, 5g fiber, 11g protein. It has the protein and carbs to keep your body…

That was my first attraction to IF, the ability to eat a large social meal if I wanted to. It is much easier to eat a 1,700 calorie meal. I started off with…

  • I don’t eat back the calories, but I do try to achieve the higher protein and dietary fiber goals for the day while not going over my original calorie goal.

  • I’ve noticed that when I consume too much sodium, I do in fact gain weight, but it is only temporary. I think it is just water weight gain. After a couple days of eating well, the weight disappears and I weigh less than before. That leads me to believe sodium didn’t actually make me gain weight, just hold on to more water…
