For me breakfast and lunch. When I do not eat in the morning I am so toxic person but when there is dinner its evening and I am ok to not eat.
I’ve heard that potatoes contain a lot of essential nutrients, but I’ve also heard that potatoes are unhealthy.

This is a few years back, wanted to see what happened. Had to take the GF out for a nice dinner, so I had some steak, fish and booze. Ketosis held strong. https://preview.redd.it/w3putjlu4x971.jpg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=079b45d536d9eb276fb23749ba118693623b215f
I’ve been fasting for about a month now and I typically do 16:8 and it’s been great so far. Today I wanted to do my first 24 hour fast and it’s honestly gone really well with just water throughout the...
Any difference? I like to eat around my workouts which are in the morning, so I figure I’ll skip dinner and stop eating after 1pm and have a hearty breakfast the following day before I lift weights
I’ve watched Dr. Jason Fung’s video on the benefits/drawbacks of skipping breakfast vs dinner while doing TRE (https://youtu.be/7iG2tp_BdEM) where he says skipping dinner is more effective, but the focus there is on weight loss. I, however, am underweight already and...

Is it bad to go to bed hungry? I want to start IF but leaving out dinner. So can someone tell me if it is ok, and if there are any studies supporting your advice?
Does this work? Thanks!
When I'm doing rolling 48s, I find dinner time to be the hardest part of my day. Not because I'm hungry, but because dinner feels very symbolic to me. It's like, sitting down to eat dinner flips the "relax/reset" switch...
Hello! I'm looking to start IF for the first time. When reading about it every site says that you should do 16/8 from 12.00-20.00. I feel like the 16/8 plan would work the best for me but I also feel...

Hi all! I've started with IF a month or so ago, it was very gradual, started with 14:10 and then I incremented the fasting hours to 16:8 (the first time I fasted for 16 hours was SO HARD!) then 18:6...
I’ve been stopping eating after breakfast and lunch, 6Am-noon most days. It’s been surprisingly easy. I did this mainly because I saw some people report better sleep when doing so and since my sleep sucks, I dove in...

New to IF, was trying to start with 9 hours. I just wanted to get an idea on whats the best approach, or if i should do 12 instead.
For example, does the benefits of eating your OMAD routine at 5-6pm act differently than eating at 9-10pm, if you go to sleep around 11pm-12am that same day?
I'm back on IF and doing 16:8. My eating window is from 11am tp 6pm. I usually eat my main meal/lunch at around 11am-12pm, snack some more around 2-3pm, and usually stay pretty full until 6pm. To make sure I...

Hi all! I’m brand new to IF starting tomorrow, and I’d love to know what timeframes you guys follow and really any and all tips you may have for me! Thank you in advance!
I’m a little confused. Why is the OMAD window four hours if you’re supposed to eat one plate of food within one hour?

If you're doing the 20/4 fast is it a bad thing to eat before bed? Does that matter at all? Should your 4 hour window be at a certain time of day?
