  It’s hard when first doing it, so I recommend doing it on a day you don’t have to go to work. That way you can see how your body reacts.

  It’s not for everyone, because everyone’s body’s are different. I found this works for me after much trial and error with losing weight; I was a binge eater, eating all my feelings, my heaviest was 100kg~.

  Now I don’t binge eat, I don’t have breakfast, I generally don’t have lunch (I’m not strict though: if I feel hungry I’ll eat), and I have pretty healthy dinners, and I still have chocolate and dessert. Now I hover between 60kg-65kg.

  I do recommend, regardless of what your lifestyle is or your normal food/drink habits: cut out all soft drinks, and try to stop having sugar in tea or coffee. Just doing that, I dropped 10kgs. There is so much sugar and shit in soft drinks, it was impressive what cutting all that out did for me.

    Took me about 5 years to nail IF.

    Fainted a few times at first lol. Trick is not to faint where there are pointy / hard things.

      That’s the eat for 8 hours, fast for 16 hours thing, right?

      I have been inadvertently doing that because I rarely eat breakfast! I think I would have a better QoL if I did eat breakfast though, haven’t really tried in a while

        IF is intermittent fasting, yep. OMAD is One Meal A Day.

        I switch between the two depending on my activity level and hunger. So sometimes I’ll just fast for 16-20 hours and then graze, or I’ll OMAD, and occasionally throw in a 24 hour fast, usually after I’ve had a massive meal, or been eating a lot.
