Do you have thoughts on this?
So I chose to do 16:8 / 18:6 with a focus on breaking fast between 1-9 or 2-8. I’m normally not a breakfast eater but before I would start munching on the processed foods around 10-12 in the mornings. Curious...

I was using Zero, but it got all buggy on me. So instead of just reinstalling it after uninstalling, I’d figure I would check out something new. Any tips?

Is one more beneficial than the other?
I’ve been practicing IF for 50 days now. Settling into a routine that looks like 18:6 sometimes 20:4. Not calorie counting, eating healthy foods. I’m keeping it pretty loose because I want a lifestyle change. Curious about what others schedules...

I’ve seen posts of people saying they’re doing day long fasts during the week then going back to intermittent fasting. Does the back and forth not throw the body off unlike keeping the same eating schedule?
Im on day 2 of my 3 day fast and i was wondering.
Hi! I am a newbie to IF. I have been doing 16/8 daily for two weeks and have fallen in love with it. Originally I thought that this would be harder, but it has been fantastic. I feel better, the...

Is there any science regarding an abnormal fasting schedule vs a normal fasting schedule is advantageous?
Ignoring that one may be easier than the other (all dependent on personal preference), is there a benefit to one slightly longer fast over 3 ‘medium’ fasts? (Or vice versa)
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements

Anyone have recommendations for the best / classic books recommending a fasting lifestyle from the last couple years? I’m looking to get back on track and looking for a good book to inspire me
I am about a month in using a 18/6 fasting method (no intake except from noon to 6PM)? Should I alternate to a different method for a while or stay with this method?
I did a 72 last week and it helped me push through knowing other people were also fasting. Anyone want to join me on this one?
my main goal is to lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks and the researches I've done suggest that one day of dry fasting equals 3 days of water fasting in terms of effectiveness. what's your take on this?
