jovanone Sounds like low blood pressure coupled with diabetes. 🤯
grd.machine I started on a 16 hour fasting window and went to 24 hour now. I literally eat supper and that's it. Once your body gets used to it, it's not a big deal. It just takes a couple months to train your body IMO.
rvpugh I partake in IF. My eat window is only 6 hours from 530-1130. I've dropped 30lbs in 3 months. Tightening up the diet to see what that will do. Should be fun
mdunkin75 First couple of days suck, but after awhile it's pretty easy.

- laruetactical @jacktical ... Cool. Did you sneak up on it or go all in from the git-go ?
- copcar_confessions @laruetactical started with the 16hr fast window (eat 12-8) then coupled with low to no carbs. Only took a couple days to get over not eating breakfast. Found a the 18hr fast to work better and normally eat at around 1-6 range. Then found if if I added a small amount of carbs in, I lost larger amounts day to day. Once I got it all tuned in, loose consistent 1/2-3/4 lb a day. Went 300-240 in like 6 months. Then plateau for 3-4 months, then shed another 20 in a month or two. 2 likes
captgmreed I have been doing an 18 hr fast for the past 300 days. I also walk a brisk pace for 45 minutes every day. Down 80 pounds. It's not to hard to be consistent.
sunuvamuthrphuck Intermittent fasting. I've been eating like that since I was a kid and now I find out it's the new fad diet lol
rjluna_ Damn, I put my cousin on regular diet that didn't include starving yourself and just walking. From 355 down to 270 in 9 months he still goes out for a drink and lives a regular lifestyle. IF isn't sustainable.
han_brolo_760 Um. It did the opposite to me.
coloradomountainman94 That sounds like hell
adhoc.artisan I can attest. Natural Fat-burning mode. I've stayed IF for a few years now. Transitioned w/ to animal-based & it's almost like we've been lying to our children about health. One less thing to worry about🍻

all_the_goodusernamesaretaken Here's an even chadder and more effective way to do it: don't fast intermittently, it isn't as good for your metabolism. Eat at maintenance or more, but every two weeks ish, pick a block of time to do a straight 72 hour fast
- all_the_goodusernamesaretaken @all_the_goodusernamesaretaken but still don't snack
pawpawlammy The program is called Intensive Dietary Management. I have been on it since contracting Covid. I have lost 40 pounds since November 16. The fasting reverses type 1 diabetes. Reason I'm on it. Covid took my bad A1C over the edge to were now I'm on insulin. There is multiple programs. He is on 22-2. 22 fasting 2 eating. There is 18-6. The longer you fast the more benefits.

the_profishional My highest weight was 303, while doing oilfield work, sitting on long jobs, days at a time. After changing back to fishing guiding I went mostly keto but I always try to fast for about 14-16hrs/day with a 6-10hr eating window. I dropped 50lbs in 3 months, and over the last 5 years I've had ups and downs but currently down to about 230, where I'm fairly comfortable. If I fast daily and row my boat daily, I can eat literally anything I want and still either maintain or very slowly lose weight. Even in the winter(off season), I don't gain much anymore. Still work to be done to get back to college fitness levels but it's been good overall. Not to mention I've completely defeated an auto immune issue that came up from oilfield work stress/bad eating, as well as all heartburn/indigestion issues have gone away. 1 like

It's obviously not for everyone but it works well for me. Also eliminating energy drinks, sodas and gas station bs helps alot🤣 #notthiccerthanasnicker

- yimszeto @r_hardin_ exactly. If you cram a million calories within your eating window, it doesn't matter!
- ryan__galloway @r_hardin_ Caloric deficit is key for losing all around weight. But in intermittent fasting you're *generally* looking to lose fat. That's why the "when" is important.
jay_easley_ Do that and go carnivore. I went from 225 to 180 in 9 months. Also throw in some walking/running.
user__1984 It's very easy after your body gets used to it, eventually you won't even want food at all. If you do low carb too it's almost too aggressive.

lcmc_saa Yup... there are different fasts out there. I do a 20 hour fast once a week.
fairfieldnutritionzone @laruetactical Works for some not for others and doing a variation of it now but to say that you can eat anything during those hours is flawed You still need to choose proper healthy high protein Foods

- jham_210 @johnolberman @laruetactical it's healthy when you starve your body in short increments like daily I.F. It's promotes weight/fat loss, regulates blood sugar levels and it's puts your body in a defensive state to help protect you against sickness.
