I do breakfast . I work long hours and I am busy the rest of the day so I figured breakfast is the most practical option . What about you ?
I’m doing OMAD, however two days. One day I don’t eat, the other day I do - but one meal. Currently running 1.5miles in the AM, followed by high volume lifting in the evening. How does the science of fasting...
Is this a thing?? Does it work? Saw it on another forum, a few people raving about it. I have never seen this anywhere on here unless I missed it?? Thanks!

Hi all! I'll try and keep this brief. I'm doing intermittent fasting, with a flexible 8 hour eating window (which usually ends up being 4-6 hours, punctuated by lunch and then dinner), and I practically don't ever snack, opting to...
I'm not sure how safe it is for me to do a multiple day fast. I'm wondering if a 24 hour fast or just eating little throughout the day can provide similar benefits.
I do the random 3 to 5 day fast. But what i really want to do is eat every other day. If you have been doing something like this please share your experience.
Does the hunger you feel goes away as the body adapts?
I have been on a strict OMAD diet since August. In the first 72 hours I battled some mild muscle fatigue, light headedness on day two, and frequent urination on day three. Since then I have felt great! I have more...
Is one big meal every other day sustainable? If anyones tried this I’d love to hear your experience/ results.
I have done I.F. With Keto and CrossFit but never just I.F. And never just one meal. Previously I was doing 18/6. If I’m honest with myself and strangers on the internet I have weak will power and tend to...

I just tried my first multi day fast. I guess OMAD is kinda 24, so every other day is 48, and every third day is 72. I ate because I worried about my (low) electro lytes and this was my...

I'm about to hit Day 9. Still not certain on how far I'll go, but I'm going to go as long as I can. Wish me luck!
I know this is probably too much but could I break my fast with a 2lb chuck roast? I have been dreaming about it all day.
Would one big cheat day to myself mess up the weight loss streak I have going on? Does it all restart?

I’ve seen reputable sources both confirming and rejecting the theory that more than 30g of protein per meal is a waste, as that is the limit that the body can absorb. Any truth to this?

Anxiety attacks that have plagued me since last March have gone, skin condition almost cleared up, no urge to drink alcohol. Thoughts clear, mood calm.
