I started 5 weeks ago really watching what I eat and exercising. Here's what I have been doing:
IF for 16 hours.
Total caloric intake M-F 1500-1800 calories/day. Saturday and Sunday 700-1000 calories/day. I have stayed away from all fast foods. I've been eating oatmeal, fruits and vegetables, chicken, an avocado a day.

Exercise:
HIIT 3-4 times a week, weights 5 days a week. I have not noticed any strength loss.

I decided to really hit dieting hard. I've always gone to the gym, but my diet hasn't always been great. I was 6'1 229 pounds, now I'm down to 206. 41 year old male. I got my cholesterol done at the beginning of January and it was high. So I took it upon myself to really crack down on my diet. My target weight is 195. I feel like I'll hit that in 3-4 more weeks. When I hit my target weight I may add 300-400 more caries a day with protein and see how my weight responds.

I have felt GREAT since starting this. This is working for me and I'm glad I've found something that helps me shed the pounds

I'm right there with you. I'm down 20-25 in 6 weeks. The last 2 weeks, I have not kept the hammer down. Beer is so good.

can you give a little more insight on your IF.
I have been trying it myself and have not gotten to where I want to be. But by not doing my homework this could be my fault.
Started at 230 6' and I am at 221 now, this has been around 40 days.
So this is what I been doing
16/8
But I have put creamer in my coffee or sweat and low. Now I know I cant.
My eating time I have been very consistent
2 meals a day, 500 cals each, with either a piece of fruit or boiled eggs as snack.

I will change to only water and black coffee in my 16 hrs.
May increase to 1 more 500 cal meal during my eating time.

I will add I am doing weights and cardio everyday. Cardio changes from long durations to HIT, depending on how I feel and what weights I have done.

Can anyone comment with more knowledge than me on what you see in my above plan.

Also another few questions I cannot find the answer to.
1. how many days in the row is this recommended?
2. If you mess up, do you restart the next day?

thanks for any insight

Well done. Hard work pays off. Went from 205 to 180, I’m 6’ on the nose first thing in the morning. I’m down to 2-3 times week at gym and find I’m able to maintain my weight, but I do my 125, 4 sit-up variations & 50 pushups every day. I’m definitely watching my diet closer than before weight loss but have loosened up on what’s allowable.

I’m a big sauna and Rhonda Patrick fan. I have not seen any substantial evidence a 16 hour intermittent fast is more effective than a 12 hour intermittent fast.

I’m really jealous of you fatties that can drink one less coke a day and lose 30 lbs in a month

I’ve cut down to probably 1000 calories a day and have been doing 2 a days and still don’t have a 6 pack
