Are there any studies or scientic evidence on how long the risk of the so called yo-yo-effect is present after weight loss due to caloric restriction?
Came across this [Nature Metabolism](https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-022-00687-6) article this morning, which may explain my lifetime of yoyo results.
I've tried IF before. Like with all diets or lifestyle changes I eventually gave up. Its never a 'I'm done' moment but more of a gradual letting it slip. I'm at a point where I've become really insecure and just...
I guess I’m just looking for some motivation to actually follow through on my longest fast yet!
I'm a 6'2 18M and I have been eating only 1000 calories a day since January 6th. My weight on January 5th was 271 and on January 25th my weight is 253. I'm happy with the weight loss and...
I(25,F) have been trying to lose weight all my life. The only thing that showed positive results is IF. But the problem is I've never been consistent with it for more than 2 months. I KNOW that if I keep...
Hey everyone. I weigh myself once a week. And feel very disheartened by the fluctuations which are massive at times. Like I could be 67 one week and then 75 the next despite my same routine and eating habits. Feel...
Basically the title but I’ve been more or less doing keto with lower fat meats and staying under my calories that I need for the day on my refeed days. Does keto improve weight loss while fasting or does it...
I need help! I have had 3 c_sections and my 3rd was in June 2022. I have started IF 16:8 but I don’t know how much it has worked since I have only lost 5-6 lbs in 2 weeks. Which...
I started Jan 1st using rolling 4 day fasts. Lost 35 lbs. But now I’ve ate every day since Friday. Feeling like I’ve failed. Now I step on the scale for it to be stored on the phone but too scared...
Hello, So I’ve been IF for about a year, then in the past 4 months or so started to do extended fasts and have done many 72 hour and 108 hour fasts. I fell into a pattern for a while...
Do any of you have any reference materials for the usual rate of weight loss you have on OMAD based on things like age, height, and sex? E.g. 20, 6'4", male(in my case)? Including a few cheat days, I have...
Hello everyone. I've tried different patterns from18/6 to OMAD an it works great for a while but then it stops. What I mean is that when I'm at my heaviest (let's say close to 100kg) I have no problem doing OMAD every...
Do people that workout and maintain a healthy weight need to watch their fat intake, or are they fine as long as they keep their weight? Are there any negatives to consuming more fat than reccomended while keeping a healthy...
Hi guys, More questions if I may! I've seen so many videos with multiple views on what you can and can't break a fast with. Is it true that if you break your fast with something like a sandwich, with some cheese or...
Ok so i like if, this is my third time trying and botjl h previous attempts were solid until i quit, butnim trying to understand one thing: Does if help burn more calories outside of regular cico? So im 260lb...
Just wanted to get a temp check from some people who know a lot more about this stuff than I do. I have a weird work schedule. I generally get 7 days off in a row once...
A friend of me is distancing himself from me, because he thinks I'm "hurting myself" by fasting. Why are people so scared and so ignorant of fasting? This is not a critique of my friend merely a question of people in...
Hello All! I am new to this sub but I wanted to know what's your experience been like while 30 day water fasting. Though I've done intermittent fasting and later switched to doing rolling 72s - I plan on starting...

Just want to share my story. So, I started fasting in 2019, I went from 106kg to 76kg (about 200 pounds to 140 pounds I guess) in the span of 6 months. I could easily handle consecutive 2-3 day fasts. I...
I was thinking of doing a nice long 30-day fast, but I am a tad worried of the rumored threat of "permanent" drop in metabolism. I don't like the idea that the human body would permanently drop metabolism from a...
Hi! Why do so many people say eating 800 calories a day for 4-6 weeks would cause health issues but some people water fast for a month at a time and it’s not frowned upon? Obviously in this scenario you...
I wanted to post this because it seems like a lot of people have family members/friends with bad habits and get a lot of criticism. I looked back at a picture of myself when my mom said I was getting...
Hi sub-red, Hope all well today. I'm really curious about this idea that the body has a preferred weight where it is comfortable, and that it will largely revert to that weight even after periods of weight gain or weight loss....
I say this because I am one of them. I’ve used traditional Omad to get to my goal in the past, rebounded, found extended fasting, rebounded even harder. I’m now on my fourth attempt at getting to and maintaining my...

Hey, I love If and EF. I'm 100% sure that the right way. But I see quite a few people hate on it and specially on Dr. Jason Fung. It's quite frustrating to people tell you you're stupid for believing...

I am an 18 year old woman trying to lose weight and I have been fasting for the past 10 days. I haven't been eating *anything* and I only on occasions drink tea with milk and a little sugar. During...
I've been browsing the sub, and it seems like a lot agree that rolling 72s/96s are optimal for sustainability, but how, if you're limited? For me personally, I don't have a lot of room for food storage, so prepping a...
I've been seeing a PT twice a week for almost 4 weeks now, as well as starting IF 16:8 2 weeks ago. I've been really good with it besides the last weekend where I was travelling to see family. I've...

Hello all! **Preface:** After going completely cold turkey on [cigarettes and alcohol](https://www.reddit.com/r/stopsmoking/comments/yd8p43/from_3040_cigarettes_a_day_to_nothing_with_zero/) (smoking anywhere between 40-100 cigarettes per day, alongside drinking at least five litres of alcohol a week), I made the decision to take up a new challenge; getting my weight...
