Should I expect to see some weight loss if I have been doing 18:6 with no change to my diet? The only exercise I do is chair burpees every other day for 20 min.
Next step to include Low carb?
Should I skip the burpees and go muscle gain only?
I have an underactive thyroid which I have been taking a synthetic for.
I am at about 330 lbs
I have been hitting 18+ fasting hours consistently for about 2.5 months
I’d make healthier changes to the diet like low carb(if it’s not healthy already) some strength training would help. All this could definitely help in losing weight. Better to give it a go then to have never tried at all.You can always start slow and working your way up. I hope your weight lost plan goes well!

In theory, yes. If you traditionally ate say a heavy breakfast(or whatever meal was getting cut), snacked a lot, but kept your remaining meals the same you’d be cutting a lot of calories and lose weight. In practise, it’s not that simple. Whether underestimating calories or portions, overestimating exercise, etc, just having a smaller eating window doesn’t mean we’re eating less.
At the end of the day it’s still a caloric issue. You’re either in a surplus, at maintenance, or in a deficit. If you’re not happy with your results then find a sustainable way to reduce. Though this may be something to discuss with your doctor considering your medical condition.
