Is it bad that my fasting hours vary every day? 16:8

When I used to do IF I fasted daily from 8PM-noon and my timing rarely fluctuated. But lately I’ve been finishing eating at like 6:30PM, some days 7, honestly some days I know I am done eating for the day and I start fasting early. I just finished dinner and it’s 6:40 PM soo I’m gonna start fasting now which means I’ll get to eat by 10:40 AM. instead of noon.

Is this allowed? To constantly adjust your eating window as long as you are fasting for 16h

Answer

Life happens…was just explaining to my beloved that if my fasting window fluctuates because we just moved (and all the schmutzma that goes with moving), it’s ok. As long as I’m hitting that 16 hour window of fasting, it’s all good.

(We moved, 4x in 2 years as my beloved was diagnosed with the c beast…got him into the.absolute.best.cancer.center in the world…Very little help from his family & they’re in the area!…) anyway, life happens & IF is very forgiving.

Answer

I personally like consistency in my timing, so I generally keep to the same 11am to 7pm eating window. But if I stop eating earlier, I don’t start eating earlier because of it. I just have some extra time of fasting.

But it’s really up to you and what works best for your lifestyle.

(I will admit I’m not tied to the breaking my fast time; I’ll eat earlier if it works best for that day.)
