Doing IF for the first time with GF. Does gender impact how we should approach IF?

We’re starting off 17:7 (does that make sense?). She’s worried IF will effect us differently.

I’m M29, she’s F27

Answer

I mean the rate of weight loss might be different. And maybe personal preference comes into it, which schedule best suits you. one size doesn’t necessarily fit all, don’t feel constrained to be exactly alike. You need to find what works for you.

Answer

Yes. Menstrual cycle affects our hormone levels, so fasting a week before my period is difficult for me, but fasting during my period is much easier due to my lack of appetite. As this is her first time fasting, she should observe how her body reacts before embarking on a longer fast. If 17:7 doesn’t work for her, try 13 hr fast.
