Had a fast day yesterday (as in, no food, just water). Feeling good today! Gonna have left over brisket and sausages for dinner, obtained from the family gathering on Sunday.
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.
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.

I don’t think I could go a full day with no food. I get hangry just skipping breakfast. I should try it after a big eating day.

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.

Good it works for you, be careful not to get dizzy
