Intermittent Fasting
I've been doing intermittent fasting for five months. My cousin had great results in her health improving and got me interested.
Anyone else doing IF, or interested in starting?

What's your fast routine?
I've done this a few ways, sometimes fasting from 4pm-8am. Right now I mostly do 6pm-9am ish. My job is crazy though so it's hard to plan food and time to eat. But I feel better when I have a regular long fast time. |

About a decade ago go I did a major health reset and intermittent fasting, while not widely used at the time, was very helpful for me.
At my current age (59) I am needing to rebalance other parts of my system and believe this, and possibly some other fasting styles, may be beneficial for me. This last week I’ve been easing into it with a 14/10 routine, it feels good so I will up my game a little bit at a time over the next few weeks. I think I would like to land at about 18/6 but I will play it by ear. There is a whole lot more research available now particularly surrounding the topic of autophagy since the 2016 Nobel prize and I am interested in playing around with some more self experimentation. n=1! Feeling up for another healthy adventure. |

I just recently heard about IF on a podcast. Does anyone have resources for someone interested in learning more, particularly what kind of routine would be best? Thanks!

Intermittent Fasting
I fast anywhere between 12-16 hrs. and sometimes longer. It all depends on how early I start my day and the days events.
I have a family member that shed a considerable amount of weight with Keto and IF. Is anyone doing Keto with IF? or just IF? |

I have to couple keto with counting calories or IF to lose weight. I can't lose on Keto or Low Carb on its own. For now the Keto and my kind of IF is working for me. And I take no-diet days on holidays (today is holiday in the states so I'll make some grilled cheese sandwiches—thanks to VintageFemme and Mopsie's posts in another thread—then it's back on the diet till Halloween). |
