Well done kwala  I hope the scales were nice to you this morning. Another 1.3kg gone for me last Friday, which was something of a surprise. Fasting today & tomorrow again as OH & I have decided we quite like just getting it over with. Next week will be more of a challenge as he's away a couple of nights and it's half-term. |

I keep on trying this, stopping, trying again, stopping. I'm not massively overweight, so would be doing it half for weight loss and half for supposed health gains. I also sometimes do it for a couple of weeks, just to feel like I'm getting back in touch with the feeling of not always having a semi-full stomach, and learning to appreciate food. The weather's nice outside though, which is a good time to start again! |

I'm failing badly by trying to eat less generally, mainly because I'm a weak willed glutton, so may give this another go, it's only one day at a time....

Well done bigleggy! After a bit of a hiatus I'm back on consecutive fast days (still supporting hubby really). Still surprised that I can quite happily run on a fast day. |

I'm trying 16:8 fasting now - aim for at least 16 hours fast per day, I think up to about 20 hours is the longest recommended. It's definitely easier but I guess also slower to get results. And yes exercise is a big plus if you can do it on a fast day. I guess it also helps to go more "keto" with lower carbs and higher fats - definitely easier to train the body to burn fat for fuel. |
