Hi, I’m new to this, and started 16:8 this week, feeling really good, I’ve cut dairy out of my coffee and having my first meal each day around 1/2pm I go to bed early so I’m probably fast bit longer...
If I stopped doing IF and I stay under my BMR calories will I lose weight?
I am 42m 182 lbs. This summer I was 200lbs. Ironically, I exercise a lot in the summer but after September I don’t exercise much (due to work hours and weather). In about 2 months I’ve lost 18 lbs without...
Hi all! I'm curious to know if it's possible for an active runner to no lose (or even gain) fat/muscle through their diet. Are there specific things to do other than calorie surplus and extra protein intake? Thanks!
Is this normal? I’ve been taking in about 3-4 grams of salt and my weight doesn’t seem to be moving. I actually feel pretty normal and was wondering if I should keep going? Thanks

My assumption is a little bit of both but from what I read it may just be a way to stay in ketosis

I’m reading and hearing mixed things about fasting and metabolism. Some say it slows your metabolism down and you’ll just gain back all the weight that you lost in the fast even if you just eat normally …. some say...
Especially because I miss some days lol. Want to know others experiences
Lol for context I’ve done this before. I guess I will find out, but I just haven’t been able to bring myself to run recently and gained 10 lb. The last week I’ve been walking 10-15 miles per day fasted...

Not sure where on Reddit to post this question. Am I better off doing 3 hours of cardio a day, or doing 1 hour a day and fasting for 20 hours a day to lose weight the quickest? Background, I used to...
Like the title says.. those of you who've tried just full-time keto before (as in, eating regularly, even if its just OMAD), do you lose more weight fasting than you do just on keto? I know for some people it's...
It's been 2 months. I'm steadily losing 0.5% of my body weight weekly, and in a couple of months will hit my goal weight. I want to keep with 16:8 for health and energy but I don't want...
i feel like most of the results ive seen are from weeks of fasting so im not sure
Does it work? Are there any side effects? How do you counter any possible side effects? I'm considering a 15 to 20 day water fast, and taking cayenne powder daily to increase metabolism or speed up ketosis.

Sorry this may be a dumb question but I’m really new to fasting, never done it before and I know now that it’s important to take electrolytes like sodium, potassium etc., but will that cause water retention/make it harder to...
As long as you're in a calorie deficit you lose the same amount of weight right? No matter if you eat the calories through out the day or in one hour for example?
I have been doing a 16/8 fast for the last 4-6 months and I have kept my calories around 3-500 calories below my tdee so around 1500-1600 calories while hitting the gym as normal 4-5 days a week. I still...
