Is it worth pushing the fasting window if you're feeling good?

I’m doing 18/6, and I am genuinely really enjoying it (eating from 9am - 3pm, as I find it easier to skip dinner). I’m waking up each morning with so much energy, clarity of mind, and my mindset is more positive.

Past while I’ve been finding that come 9am, I’m still feeling good, and so I’ve been pushing this window to 20/21hrs. I’m just wondering… does this extra 2/3hrs make a big difference? I’m presuming its good, but I’m not sure how much its adding. I’m wondering if I should move to 20/4 then or just stick to 18/6 and stretch it as and when feeling up to it. I don’t want to rush anything or do anything unhealthy.

Thanks! I’m so motivated by all your posts and pics 👏 Hopefully in time I’ll be able to add mine.

If you train, or have a super active job (EG mail man) I would try to refrain? Your body will need to replenish calories and hit macros if you’re an athlete training for something or if your body is doing something it is super efficient at like walking for extended periods of time. I know some may say just eat all your caloric needs in a smaller window but there is something to be said about not just stuffing yourself to the absolute limit.

If not, I don’t see why not?
