A few newbie questions

Im a 21yr old male 5’10” cw 252 & gw is 190 I decided to do the 16:8 because I always skip breakfast anyways and usually eat around 12:00 where my problem previously came in was the soda and late night snacks. I completed my first fast yesterday it ended up being a 17hr fast with nothing besides water Basically I have a few questions • will I have to worry about loose skin? • what should I eat during my eating window? • does drinks like bai, vitamin waters and such break a fast?

Answer

Anything with calories breaks a fast and artificial sweeteners (0cal) spike insulin in most people which breaks your fast. Loose skin can happen to anyone, IF doesn’t effect that. I’ve read 25-50lb weight loss can cause loose skin. It sucks but only preventable by not losing the weight 😔

Answer

Replace soda with sparkling water. La Croix Lemoncello is my go to for sweet cravings. Tastes like it is sweet but there is no sugar or sweetener. Bubly blood orange grapefruit has been another amazing discovery
