Awesome plan! I do this too and I'm down 40+. After an adjustment period (started on 5:2 and gravitated to add 16:8), it feels normal. Sure I get hungry at predictable times during my week, but I'm ready for it before it happens. Good luck.

Thanks for the virtual pat on the back =] There's so much stigma with fasting, its nice to have the support.

As your body gets used to going longer between meals, you'll find it gets easier, too. Even if my plan is to do 18:6, I frequently end up doing more like 20:4. Water is key, but only drink to thirst to avoid flushing electrolytes. Nice drop!

Yeah. I don't understand that. I tell people about IF and they look back at me sometimes with horror on their face. My son's mom who is morbidly obese and does a crazy amount of cardio is someone with that reaction. She's easily 150 lbs overweight and can't lose a pound doing what she's doing. I think if she heard about it from anyone other than me, she'd be more receptive.

I'm sorry that she's not "getting it" The LCHF diet alone helped me immensely and I am currently not going crazy with exercise, because I've done that in the past. I've struggled my entire life with being put on lowfat diets and exercising until I collapse to no avail! I now have severe joint pain, knee pain, and ankle pain with so much inflammation and constant pain from my many attempts to lose throughout my life. So, for now, I am letting my WOE take care of the major stuff, so that in a few months, I can start focusing on the exercise.

KTMM, she feeds her workout which drives her hunger which feeds her workout . . . She wouldn't come to FS because, you know, I mentioned it already. So there's that. It's not funny but LOL.

Wow, she must REALLY not like you. lol. Well the world knows my outlook on relationships with females past being friends. lol. I feel for you brother. This is why Im MGTOW for life. lol And I know, its really not funny. but she is REALLY committing slow suicide if she refuses to listen to reason.

Sorry to hihack your post Stevie but last one. KTMM, she likes me too much. She just hates it when I'm right, which, unfortunately for her is a lot. Thank you, good night Chicago! Tip your wait staff and drive safe!

LOL!!! Well, luckily I have a level-headed husband who will listen to reason. He is also eating LCHF, however, he had a whopping 15 lbs to lose. He is a sloth and gained a bit of weight over the last several years, but he has looked at the information and agrees this makes the most sense. He is not doing IF, however he supports me and has for the last 23 years.

That explains the level of idiocy.

I don't get these dimwits that get banned and think they can just create another account and pick back up where they got cut off.
