I’ve enjoyed it.

Interment fasting. I eat one meal a day typically. Keto 6 days a week.

Def worth it!

How long?

Every body is different, it's up to you, just experiment and trust your instincts.

Skip the intermittent fasting and go straight to 36+ hours.

Sounds hard!

Anything worth doing isn’t easy

It gets easier 😊

It’s not that hard, just go one day without eating.

About me: do not approach.

bad mood monster 🤣

My record was 30h

Did you manage to go one full day?

With some ease. I frequent raves. After 18-20h dancing and eating fastfood, it's easy to go 24+ without food, since most of it is while I'm sleeping, as I hate cooking I prefer to feel the discomfort than cooking.

More than 24 hours is not all weeks. But usually between 14-18h I do it twice a week

Works for me.

I eat between 12-6. Black coffee in the morning.

Nope

I've been doing a 16-18 hour fast daily for a year, it's great. I'm never ravenous anymore, more energy and I eat less when have meals. I'm also mainly Keto, which helps. Try it.

What’s your goal?

What are the goal you are hoping to achieve? I’ve read abt improving brain function but haven’t fully explored - I like the self control aspect it inflicts but am light weight and don’t want to loose more. Also what type of fasting are you exploring?

It’s a paradigm shifting approach to life. It requires balance and trial and error to understand your own body. The body is in constant state of homeostasis, so the approach should be incremental.

Don't try to fast - try to eat such a nutrient-dense diet that your body simply is not hungry as often

always

Yes but it seems specifics really are dependent to the individual. Use any information you take in as a guide rather than a rule & listen to your body.

Definitely yes for me. More energy and better digestion. I do 16/8.

What does 16/8 mean?

It means your eating window is 8 hours a day, fasting 16 hours a day.

For example, you do not eat anything before noon, only black coffee, and nothing after 8 pm.

Exactly, 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours available for eating.

Ahhh, I see. I’m a 12/12 I think.
