I am thinking of doing an eating window between 2 - 7pm and fast the rest of the time, but will it be okay to have 2 meals in this time? I’m thinking have lunch at 2 and dinner at 6 with no snacking in between.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I currently fast on a 20/4 schedule, I tend to open my eating window around 3pm and close it around 7pm. I usually eat two meals in this time period. I’ve been doing this for a few months now. I’ve never had an issue with it.
I do OMAD with a one hour eating window at around 6pm, among other things. But you can also mix it up if you aren’t seeing too much weight loss. It could be like an up down day, where you do 20:4 and then do one to two OMAD with 30 min to an hour of eat time.
+1 on the 20:4 Fasting. Doing the same, allows me to take insulin down till about 2:30 / 3:00pm. I get a two meals in and a keto snack in between. The last meal is with family around 6/6:30pm.
Been doing since September 15th, mostly every day with a cheat or down day here and there. Down almost 10lbs. 253 start to 243. Not confetti worthy weight loss, happy with slow and steady.
For the record i did gradually grow in 20:4 from 16:8 then 18:6 and now i am happy with 20:4 as my new norm.
I did 1 omad and 72h in the mix, to dip my toes. an omad was doable, but 72h that needs a good solid warming up to.
How that helps!
