Looking for other ways to lose weight ..

I’am 5’9 355lbs and just getting back to being active now that I have a job and a purpose. I did IF in the past and it worked great 10pm-2pm fast 2-10 eat. But now that I’m working my gym and time frame to eat are different. Im looking for some help on how I should go about it. Some days I work at 2pm which means I have time for the gym early morning but then my last meal would be at 10pm and I would be working out while I’m fasting. Some days I work at 9am which means night time I goto the gym around 830-9pm. I want to try to keep the 16/8 method but don’t want to overlap or ruin my fast

Answer

It’s totally OK to work out while you’re fasting. Many people do it and even prefer it. I would try it and see how you feel — it might work great for you.

I wonder if something like 12 PM-8 PM eating window might work for you. That way you can have dinner after your early shifts, and lunch before your late shifts, plus (I assume) take a meal break in the middle of your shift.

Answer

Keep a journal of all calories you ingest. Then wait a few days, and look it over with a clear head. Mark the stuff you should skip, try again.

Have a nutritionist look a the journal if you can, too.

Answer

I do 2-10 PM eating window as well and had no issues working out in my fasting window while on vacation. In fact, I was doing 2 a day workouts with weight training in the morning and running in the evening.
