Today was sunny and felt like spring! Always a boost in mood when the weather improves. On the flip side, our furnace died Sunday night 😞having a new one installed tomorrow. Trying to keep my toddler warm at night until then.
I have been off a little since the wedding trip last weekend—determined today to regroup. I fasted 16+ hours— wasn’t hungry. Had a great low carb dinner. Thinking I’m going to try intermittent fasting and see how that works for me. I have a doctor friend who sent me some info about it and how he lost 33lbs over 3 months with fasting. It goes against everything I’ve learned about dieting thus far...not sure what to believe anymore!
Thank you all for your amazing support—I wanted to quit yesterday but didn’t want to let you all down haha! Hope you’re all happy and doing well!

Thank you for not quitting. Your support (and other FS friends) are what is keeping me focused. I'm foing 16/8 fasting every day. Often I'm not hungry when 16 comes around. I don't know about longer. You have to see what works for you. We can do it if we stay together. ❤

I'm doing Keto IF 16:5. I fast for 16 hours, eat keto for 5, up to my caloric intake for the day. Seems to be working so far. good luck. Hope you get great results.

Thanks everyone! Hugs to you all!!
For those who do intermittent fasting, when you do eat, do you eat all your calories for the day? So if I plan to eat 1400 cals a day I just eat them all during the hours I’m not fasting? I can’t find clear guidance for this! Thanks!

for me. I fast 16-20 hours( this includes sleep) then for 5 hours I eat. For me I am doing Keto with calories restriction atm. so you would add in whatever iet plan your doing. And your caloric intake, some do 8 hours eating time. I do 5. So, during those 5 hours I eat what I am allowed to eat in that 5 hour period, and then I fast again.So, if you say keto, and allowed 2000 calories, you would consume them within your hours allotment to eat, then fast again.
