In the spirit of Ramadan (not Muslim) I began doing intermittent fasting to go along with my daily exercise and it has been nothing short of amazing so far for me. I only eat within a 8 hour window per day and I fast the other 16, drinking either water or black coffee only. I've lost 3 pounds in a week without changing what food I eat, only the timeframe. I feel way better when I do break my fast in the mornings and helps me establish discipline with myself and my relationship to food/snacking.

Any others currently doing so or have done it in the past? I plan on doing a 18:6 and OMAD fasts in the future.

I only eat 1 meal a day and regularly go 24+ hours without eating

How do u do it bruises

I started today. Wasnt hungry until 6pm but i wanted to eat so much....

You totally get used to it, really recommend, make sure to drink a lot of water though

You just gotta forget

keep it up op

i lost 20 lbs in 30 days at my peak

also be careful

Drink water plenty of water. My biggest problem was snacking for no reason when I'm not even hungry. You'll get used to it, trust.

I just aint got the discipline

The last 1-2 hours before breaking fast is the hardest but after you push through that it's cake.

Any tips on how you managed that?

got momentum started before i went up north, then i was up north, was out of the city, swimming in lake huron daily, and also just eating no sugar or anything really like that?. was also doing 1000+ situps/leg lifts/curl ups before bed with my daily evening stretching routine?

idk man it was pretty anomalous

rn im hovering around 190-200 lbs depending on hm im drinking liquor

ig the liquor is the biggest thing. empty calories cut those out

i didnt even excercise like that and still dont aside from consistent core excercises? idk man, its easier said than done, i think its partiallly genetics fr but i would say, cold water exposure for shock proteins paired w excercise, paired with good rest? idk its hard in the winter. i had no goal, it just happened, i got lucky

EDIT: METH

edit was a joke btw, all the rest is true

the goal is to stop eating forever and just live off air and sunlight

Been on this wave for years now. I go 20 hours fast 4 hours eating

It gets easier too once you are used to it. Ive been doing it for a few years now I sometimes dont even notice Im hungry even if its 18-20 hours since my last meal. Tbh I was like that after a few months of doing it already. Also probably depends on what do you eat when its time

I'm about to try fasting for 24 hrs after dinner tonight, anyone interested in joining

Lets go. I got into this last year and it really helps u mentally for real

I gotta get back into this asap

Just started this back up

i feel so much stronger when i do this. starting again tomorrow
