IF is changing my life

I just hit day 30 of IF. I’ve been been goaling myself against 14:10, but in practice I’ve been reaching 18:6 commonly and even 23:1 / OMAD on occasion.

Before IF, I was drinking 2-4 high ABV beers or cocktails per weekday. Weekends started with a Bloody Mary, ended with an Old Fashioned, and had a lot of booze and tv in between.

I felt like I was in this terrible never ending loop of work, eat, drink, sleep, repeat.

As my fasting period started creeping up, I naturally started drinking less. I’ve had a single beer in the last week, and turned down several drinks in process. Before IF, I don’t think I ever turned down a drink.

I’ve been eager to get through my last meal for the day to trigger the fasting timer. In the morning and afternoon, I find I’m generally not even hungry now. All the breakfast junk food and sweet treats I used to eat are now off the menu.

The crazy thing is, I don’t miss any of the food or drink that I had become so conditioned to.

I also have a ton of energy now. Like crazy, stupid get off my ass and do a bunch of shit energy all the time. I’m getting a ton done around the house, and I’m exercising regularly. I’ve picked up hiking and did a 6 hour 14 mile hike today. That would have never happened previously.

I’m actually sleeping less than I was before, but I’m waking up ready to take control of my life every day now.

I am starting to feel like a brand new person and getting back to a place where I enjoy my life. It is truly mind blowing.

I appreciate the knowledge and encouragement everyone brings to this sub. You are all inspirations!

Love your story!

I’ve been eating OMAD 4 years. Lost my weight (50 lbs) in 6 months. Keep doing it because I love it for many on the same trains as you.

This is the fountain of youth. I’ve lost 20 years off my biological age. I’m never going back to so called normal eating. I’d hate it!!
