Hello, could you to share your daily meal? And what changes about ur health now

[@lizwithdavipbiz3580]

Yeaaa. I have been doing the 16:8. I feel that is more realistic. I’ve already lost 60 pounds in 4 months. Still going!!!!!❤

[@asiyadalal1552]

Hey! Can you share your routine what exactly do you follow?

[@lizwithdavipbiz3580]

@@asiyadalal1552 so what I would do and what has been working for me is I would eat brunch at 12:00 PM and it would be three eggs prepared any way you like with a half an avocado and two strips of bacon or sometimes I would switch it off with sausages. And I have a juicer so I would just use any fresh fruit that I liked juice it and drink it all natural with a bottle of water then I would usually be hungry around 2 PM so I would eat a snack, which would be 1 cup of carrots with a bottle of water or one cup of mixed fruit of my choice. And I would also drink green tea plain then around four it would be a late lunch for me. I would eat usually some type of beans. I loved kidney beans and chickpeas. I would make that into a stew and eat it with brown rice in a reasonable portion of course then, because I love carrots so much, I would eat a cup of carrots on the side or a side salad with lots of water then usually by five or six I would be hungry again so I would eat another snack which would be a handful of almonds with more water then by 8:00 PM I eat my dinner, which would usually be a sandwich with low carb bread with a turkey breast and lettuce, which was my way of mimicking a Mc chicken from McDonald’s I would eat just one sandwich with a cup full of homemade fries which I made with sweet potatoes to cut down on carbs / calories. Then I would finish it off with three bottles of water. I also exercise four times a week for thirty minutes to forty five minutes and my work out would be split between resistance exercises and running on the treadmill.!!! 😊😊😊 hope that helped

[@janboomstam1727]

Ah what type of workout would you recommend ? My eating hours are now between 16:00 and 20:00, yesterday I did a little walk after 20:00 and I feel great now.

[@BonanzaPilot]

how'd it work for you

[@kentwood9821]

Every day is like Thanksgiving. I cook for my kids and prepare things for my evening meal, which is always delicious no matter how simple. Meals don't feel that way at all when I spend all day nibbling on junk and eating 'meals' every 3 hours. The occasional rumbles in my stomach are reminders that I'm actually *doing* something about the weight I want to lose. I recommend kicking off with a 1, 2 or even 3 day fast to give yourself an idea what it feels like to really go beyond your comfort zone , and then start your 20:4 fasting from there. Knowing what it feels like to fast longer, the 20:4 really feels like a cakewalk in comparison.

[@tlee508]

20/4 has been the best method for regulating my glucose levels.

[@mariannececiliacole5544]

I do 17-19hr fasts 🙈 sometimes I break my fast at 16hrs, sometimes 20+ but on average 18hrs, just depends on my schedule

[@Pink_cupcake1700]

How many calories should you eat when you do have your meal??

[@ApostolosKatsioulas]

That's my method, it just takes quite a lot of preparation when it comes to meals yet my schedule is so hectic, so I have less time for eating food. Frankly speaking, it suits me and even though weight loss isn't my goal I still use this method daily.

[@StephanieDaniels]

I struggle with ADHD and over eating out of boredom and 20:4 has been a life saver for me. It also removes the cognitive overload of thinking about preparing other meals and cuts down on a lot of food anxiety.

[@toolgod2418]

I do 24 hr fast for 4 months lost 65 lbs. the energy I have is so crazy drink lots of water I also drink coffee it helps keep me going. Still fast daily but some days I break fast early but when I do I make up for it in the following days.

[@niceguy999918]

Early man didn't have to worry about him or her nutritional needs everyday. Why do we? If you have stored body fat isn't that enough nutrients.

[@melissa3986]

I stopped losing weight with 20/4 I’m 5.4 and weight 145. Why is my weight stuck? I eat 1200 calories. Should you stop fasting and just watch calories? Does the body need a switch up to continue losing weight again?

[@rosieHolliday5887]

I struggled with this one. Did it for about 2 months & omg it completely slowed down my digestive system. But I lost so much weight. I wouldn't do it long term though. I found it very stressful

[@babyduck22]

I want to try this , especially to improve brain health and stuff, but i am scared it will slow down my digestive system. I have a pretty fast metabolism, and i don't wanna ruin it. Can anyone confirm whether intermittent fasting can slow down your metabolism long - term or not ?

I prefer 16:8. Breakfast at 11am, dinner about 6pm. Then 16 hours before eating again.

[@Playfulkiddostv]

I did it before and worked so well

[@didralamond8145]

Depending on how I feel I am able to extend my fast until a 23:1 but sometimes when real hunger for me strikes I usually do a 16:8. I have found that longer fasts for me can help me drop some serious weight but I try to eat what I need to within that eating window.

[@KnowledgeOfSelf144]

[@raewebb6365]

[@stephanies3862]

This is my issue as well. Once I break my fast it's hard for me to stop continuing to eat and snack the whole 4 hours. So I assume that's why it's not working for me. 😮‍💨

[@someoneyoudontknow7705]

You’re allowed to eat during those 4hrs, don’t see why this would be a problem unless it’s difficult for you to stop after 4hrs. Also, make sure you’re eating plenty of fats and protein to help you feel satiated! 😊

20:4 fasting works great for me due to me being a fat turd. Most of us fat turds do not need to eat every 2 hours like a bodybuilder.. I would rather have 1 small meal and one larger enjoyable meal while implementing macro tracking and flexible dieting, over 5 meals of chicken broccoli rice 👍

[@TinaB111]

​@louisacofresi hi. I noticed you never got an answer. You can eat until you are full. It's pretty hard to eat a day's worth of food in 4 hrs so most people fall in a calorie deficit naturally. For e.g. my calories in a deficit are 1550. I have to practically stuff myself sometimes to eat that much as I am trying not to lose muscle. Without trying I usually eat around 1300-1400 calories.

I like the 20:4 fast the best. I can do a 23:1, but what I found is I wasn't intaking enough with a OMAD because I would feel satiety quickly after breaking the fast. With a 4 hour window, I can eat a meal..wait 2 hours and eat another meal before fasting for another 20 hours.

[@Neverasheep]

It has also really helped with my stomach issues along with not drinking fluids 30 minutes before during and after a meal. It really gives your stomach time to break down your food.

The fact that I've been doing this fasting unconsciously for the last 2 years of my life. I eat dinner at about 7 and go to sleep rlly late about 2 or 3 then wake up at about 1 but I dont usually eat til 3, my friends always ask me how I can eat tons of food without gaining weight and ig this is y.

I drive commercial truck. So eating once per day, usually at the end of my day, works best for me. I'll start my day with green tea followed up with lemon water. Then a black coffee (small) around 1030AM and then back to water. 1 hour before I eat ill have a glass of water with 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar drinking it thru a straw. Then once it's time to eat I have a well balanced high protein, high fat, low carb meal. This week's meals look like this: Smoked turkey, sardines, pickled egg, Avocado, sour kraut, broccoli sprouts, baby Swiss cheese, olives, mixed nuts and a squeeze of fresh lemon. All ingredients are the best quality I can source.

[@jeffnewton7141]

So, during the eat period, should you try and get all your calories in? I was under the impression, you should cut back, like with OMAD or the 18:6, where you would only have a window to eat maybe 2 meals. Is there a guide to follow or calculator to figure it how much you should eat?

[@TheHoth1]

Eat till you are satiated. No need to count calories;)

[@someoneyoudontknow7705]

Nutrients, not calories. And yes, it usually causes a reduction in caloric intake. As the person above stated, eat until you are satiated! 😊

You generally just eat less with a 4 hour window hard to stomach a lot… the best way to approach this is either one meal or break that into two.
