Hello I’m new in IF and i’ve been doing the 18/6 fasting for a week now. I’ve been very strict about it but i’m finding it hard to mix it with my social activities.
How do you guys do it? Currently I eat from 12 to 18, but some days at 17hs some friends/family call me to go out for dinner and it’s really weird to go and not eat anything.
It would be easier to know earlier so I can fast for a little longer from 15 to 21 but it’s usually it doesn’t happen. I don’t wanna change my eating time from 15 to 21 because it’s really a lot harder for me to skip dinner than skip lunch.
Do you guys have any advice?
That’s the good part about IF. Do what you’re going to do…if you have plans…keep them…eat… enjoy. Your fasting will still be there tomorrow. I’ve been doing this for about 3years very successfully. I have no issue with cutting a fast short for time with family and friends.
I simply explain. I’ll be there for company but I’m fasting right now so please don’t be surprised if I don’t order anything. Simple. If they can’t respect it then their probably not very good friends.
