This is as an accountability post. I will update after every 66 hour fast and hopefully my scale arrives soon so I can track weightloss per fast too. Lets see if I can lose 40-50lb by the new year....
Hi there, As said in the title, I have hypothyroidism and I am on T4 + T3 treatment every morning It's been 3 days since I started OMAD, not in order to lose weight, but to make myself a bigger meal...

Hello! I want to introduce fasting, I have certain goals in mind and I see it clearly how fasting will be helpful for me. However, I've noticed that when I eat, say, breakfast in the morning (9am), and then at 5-6pm...
I don’t consume things with aspartame, but I have not found a good study on its problems when ingesting it in food.
I've been doing IF for almost 2 months now. I dont have a regular routine; some days I go for OMAD and some days I've a 8hr eating window. Recently, I get a feeling of fainting or lime a long...

Hey there everyone - I'm so glad we have a space here! I have so many questions - I'll start with supplements - is it ok to take them while fasting? There are a few I take that help...
I noticed noone is eating it. And I heared something about how it makes estrogen high. I have no idea if that is correct.
Caffeine doesn't do the trick to me and i always feel tired even if i sleep enough. Edit: thanks everyone for your advice!! Im going to look into some of the things you recommended.
Hi there. I’ve been IF for about a month now & have not noticed a budge in my scale or how clothes fit. I am fasting from 7pm to 11am. I mainly eat 2 meals/day (occasionally I snack), I’m working...
Just some background: I was an addict most of my life. I even overdosed In 2010 and had to learn to walk again with foot drop...I kept using. The drugs completely eliminated my hunger, I do not feel hunger still. Id...
So let me start off with some backstory in August 2021 I was at my record high 244 pounds then I started my IF journey. By December 2021 I was at my record low 211 pounds. Then came the holidays...
Almost every YouTube video I’ve seen about fasting has people losing 1kg per day. A guy even lost 15kg in 10 days by water fasting and exercising. I was wondering if these videos are realistic or are these people faking...
I don't want to stop IF... but it's really confusing having a perfect period history before IF and being increasingly late after starting IF. The craziest part is that I'm not even strict with it, I'll do anywhere from...
Hi all, I (28F) usually lurk here, but I’ve run into an issue and I’m hoping someone here can offer some guidance. I’m new to IF, I started in July of 2022 at 16:8, and now I vary between 18:6...

Hello guys so I've been doing adf diligently for months now, it's been very tough but I manage to pull through every time. Ive seen a steady decrease in my weight but this month I've hit a heavy plateau, a month...
My friend is very skeptical that intermittent fasting is really that different from counting calories. They think that IF primarily works because you’re just eating less calories overall because your window is smaller than average—not because the actual timing/window matters...
Hello everyone here, I have doing 18-6 IF and keto since 8 months now and lost 25kgs . From past one month my weight is stuck at 80 kgs… I don’t know why, may be body has adapted to the lifestyle...

Hello everyone, Just a quick question. Has anyone of you experienced a phase in their journey where the scale isn't moving after an initial successful downward decline of the numbers? I have stuck to the same regimen of OMAD that...
I have a book from only 2010 from a major health magazine that says that fasting creates a response of lowered metabolism, and is not a good method for fat loss. I understand they might have been wrong and sometimes...
We have reached the final quarter! I’d love to know how much weight do you want to lose and what fasting routine do you plan on doing to achieve it? I (5’2 F, sedentary) am planning to do rolling 72s...

I’ve read such conflicting research on women and IF. Some articles say it can worsen hormonal imbalance and increase insulin resistance while others claim numerous health benefits for women. So are there any women here who’ve seen good results and...
Fasting friends, after losing 104lbs in around 9 months, I haven’t lost anything the last 3 weeks. I would love any supportive words or advice you can share. What changed in the last 3 weeks? 1. I was losing hair and was...
>“This is clearly a lie. Gaining 34 lb in 28 days requires a caloric surplus of 4300 calories per day, so for a guy his size, he must have eaten 7000 calories a day. He expects me to believe that...
So I went to the hospital for my routine control (for my Hashimoto's disease) and decided to direct me to the dietician so I went to the doc. And I told him that I do IF and I really don't...

Greetings, everyone. I'm new here and just wanted some opinions from women here who IF while breastfeeding. Did your supply slow once you started? My little one is 16 months old, so he is mostly eating solids anyway, but I...
Hi there, ​ So, I have a friend who has gone through a spiritual awakening and now promotes "pranic living," a lifestyle where you eat and drink little to nothing. She has been on this lifestyle for a while and is...
