I’m new to IF, trying to lose 20lbs. I switched to 16:8 last week from 14:8. I start my fast at 6pm and break at 10am. i’ve been so massively bloated all week. My diet hasn’t changed, just the timing. Why??
Answer
It’s common when the body is adapting to fasting. Your gut bacteria is annoyed with your eating habits and are throwing a fit. They’ll fall in line after a little while though. From a few days to a couple of weeks.
