Does intermittent fasting work?

If you eat regular meals before or after intermittent fasting, it will probably work. If you eat an entire chocolate cake before or after your intermittent fasting, it probably won't work out as well.

I did it last year for a few months. Worked out at lunch time then ate around 1:30. Dinner at 6:00. I would do it several days a week and I could tell a difference in weight. Hard to stick to for a long time but if you need a kickstart to losing a few pounds it is great. Makes you really think about your meals and making them healthy and protein rich.

I tried it for about 10 days and quit. It requires somewhat of a strict schedule that has to be maintained and I had trouble following through on weekends.

Also, it made me extremely hungry and I ended up overeating.

Keto was a better fit for me, but you should at least try it because everyone is different.

Works well if you run a deficit.

Works even better with keto.

Intermittent fasting combined with carb back loading was my bread and butter. Harder for me to do it now.

My workout schedule isn't the same everyday and requires some evening lifts. I'm too lazy to not eat a carb until after an 8:00pm lift.

When I was lifting between 11-1 everyday I would do it. Great results too.

I've been on it since Summer. Working out while fasted can be rough, but you get used to it. My eating window is from 12-8. Sometimes I switch up my eating window to 1-9.. and sometimes I workout during my eating window.

Yes it can work but you meal after fasting has to be something that not going to overload your gi tract
