@towntrier100 wrote: Hi, Recently, I notice I can get very tired after eating regardless if the food is healthy or not. To combat this and ensure I get my important tasks done for the day, I adopted the philosophy that I can eat only when my critical tasks for the day are done. This works out to about 16 hour fasting window right now. Has anyone had experience using this as the motivation and driver for time of fasting window? Thanks, Chris Posts: 1 Participants: 1 Read full topic ..read more

@towntrier100 wrote: Hi, My body and mind wants to do intermittent fasting Sunday through Thursday (currently, my fasting window is 16 hours). It is better to fast five days a week then zero days per week. Does anyone know about the impacts of taking days off and if there is an optimal number of days to take off per week? Thanks!

@HeavenBound wrote: I know it’s a weird question to ask but I’m concerned because I’ve been doing alternate day fasting for over two weeks and have only had 1 bowel movement since beginning of April. My diet includes oatmeal, boiled eggs, chicken, banana, peanut butter, mixed vegetables, beetroots, broccoli, pears and seldomly I’ll have a chocolate during my feast days. What else can I do to get my bowels moving, is it not dangerous and unhealthy. I don’t know if it qualifies as constipation. Please help! Should I take laxatives?

@Yasemin wrote: OMAD (One Meal A Day - Intermittent Fasting) is incredible and totally changed my relationship with food! I always thought I had to eat 3 meals a day because that’s how I was taught by society. I realize now that with the abundance of food, it is almost IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight or even MAINTAIN your weight by following a 3 meals a day lifestyle. By following OMAD for over a year, now I have lost over 70lbs, I feel good! I don’t feel restricted. I can eat almost anything I want as long as it fits in my daily caloric needs. For maintenance I make it fit the calories I need in a ..read more

@JBHoren wrote: I just completed my first 14-day water fast… went into ketosis quickly, and stayed at a steady level throughout the fast; blood-glucose level fell from 119 to the mid-80s during the first few days, and then dropped to the mid-to-low 70s for the remainder. Hunger became an issue only at the very end. During the fast I read a lot of NIH (National Institute of Health) articles about extended fasting, and, in this one (https://bit.ly/2nCQxky) I came across a different 5:2 fasting plan… it’s the reverse of the “normal” one – 5 days water fasting, followed by 2 days eating (with cal ..read more

For the past 8 years i have not gotten full or hungry so should be no problem i just get cravings. I see no point in eating much considering i don’t get full or hungry. It should come easy to me fasting but it doesn’t because of cravings. An ..read more
