    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.

      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.

        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.
