Yes...lost fat and gained muscle 👌👌8 hour eating period

Am I the only idiot who doesn't get the diet? To me fasting is not eating at all. Do u drink one day and eat the other. Can someone explain it sounds interesting

I'm a huge fan of IF! Not just for fat loss, but the many health benefits :) There are quite a few different methods. The most popular is called Lean Gains: 16 hours fasted, 8 hours fed. You pick the feeding time. Coffee, tea, water are all you have during the fasted 16 hours, your sleeping time is also included here. Within 8 hours you consume all of your calories for the day. Personally, I did Lean Gains fasting protocol for over a year (not for weight loss, but for the health benefits)...just recently I've found my body likes the Warrior Diet protocol which calls for 20 hours fasted, 4 hours fed. Mind Pump TV on YouTube has a great video breaking these down: "How to Use Fasting to Build Muscle, Lose Fat, and Improve Health"... they stress having a healthy relationship with food before you incorporate fasting, I recommend this also.

Gonna throw this out there.. if you have PCOS, do not.. I repeat DO NOT TRY THIS. You will fuck yourself up. Fasting will put your body into storage mode. Your metabolism will turn to shit. Your body requires 5-6 small healthy meals spread out. (No dairy, no gluten, high protein, low GI)

Yep. I lost a lot of weight doing that. Good luck.

It works for some people. I am 100% against it for the fact that I used it as an excuse to cover up an eating disorder for 3 years (although it's been going on for 11+ now...)

I do it! It's super helpful and it's also super rewarding. It totally helps with bloating as well, since you spend less time feeling suffocatingly full. It's all about self control.

I've always been told that not eating breakfast causes your body to hold onto calories out of self protection. I never purposefully fast. I think it's better to choose whole, unprocessed foods and if "fasting" means not snacking - then don't snack. Eat good meals at regular meal times and you won't be hungry.
