Don’t do it man..you are better then this

Don't eat between dinner and lunch the next day. If you have time walk for 20 30 minutes on the morning. That's about all there is to it.

It's very straightforward and easy to follow. Works excellent. Great health benefits for mind and body. Would highly recommend for anyone.

Don’t eat for 18 hours and then eat for a 6 hr window. This allows autophagy to work it’s magic.

I do 16 and 8, but I really like it. I feel like I have more energy and am sleeping better. I still eat the same amount, but just in the window. I do mess it up on the weekends more often than I'd care to admit thanks to 3AM drunk food. I'd go for it baw.

lots of research shows it is good for cancer prevention and new research shows it can reverse type 2 diabetes. I am trying it for 30 days straight with Talayna Fortunato and then going to 4 days per week after that. Don't eat for 16 hours after your last meal of the previous day. So far its helping me with energy and concentration. Felt a little weaker on my weight lifts at first but not now

I don't think autophagy will kick in if you are eating each day. I think the fasting has to be longer than that.

I did 16/8, and definitely enjoyed the extra morning energy. Got away from it recently because it was getting hard to get all my calories in that window. Will definitely do it again come spring.
Just don't give up too soon. Get through about the first week, and then it's easy.

Thoughts are that it’s an invaluable option for some people who have had a hard time losing weight and getting healthier overall.
Tips would include accepting you will get hungry, you will drink a lot of water, you will pee more than you ever have. All our lives we’ve been programmed to believe if we don’t eat every few hours that we will die or pass out...terrible fallacy. It’s all mental and years of sugar intake have brainwashed us. You will feel better than you ever have if you can be strong and push through.

Here's a dumb question. Does black coffee break the fast?
Posted on 10/11/18 at 10:17 am to JasonMason
I think coffee is considered breaking your fast, but if you're doing it for weight loss than it really doesn't matter.
Posted on 10/11/18 at 10:42 am to OleWarSkuleAlum
From what I've read, autophagy doesn't take place until 60-72 hours of true fasting, nothing but water. So black coffee in a daily IF scenario shouldn't be an issue (for weight management, as mentioned earlier) due to no caloric effect.

Then why are you going to do 30 days straight and then essentially only do it half the time?
If it's because of schedule or your family that's totally understandable.

No doubt. The worst is when people make plans around eating at a specific time of day whether it be traveling or on vacation just because it's a norm.
There's no better feeling than waking up and going out the door with no worry about grabbing something "healthy" and "quick" and then being tired mid morning only to be hungrier hours later because your body wants more sugar and carbs.

Glad to see you’re a convert. Now imagine those results x10. Do a 72 hr water fast and you’ll be amazed at your energy and mental clarity.

Yeah it's really nice to be free from the constraints and social norms of thinking you have to eat every few hours.

I've been fasting since 2012
Posted on 10/11/18 at 7:36 pm to Adam4848
I had the exact same question for myself. Why not do it all the time. My only answer at this point is that I’m following talayna’s plan and that’s what she’s doing. I may make it a way of life though. I’ll just see how it goes both ways and compare.

my tip:
1. do a 24 hour fast first like this. eat dinner at whatever time. nothing after that and go to bed. skip breakfast and lunch and drink a ton of water. then, eat dinner at the same time the next day.
24 hour fast, and you don't have to go a whole day (waking up to bed time) without eating. You spend 1/3rd of your fast asleep.
I started doing this 6-7 years ago skipping breakfast and lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Drink a ton of water. A ton. If you want you can have unsweet tea and coffee to break that up.
But, I'd start with only having water those 16 hours your awake and fasting. Reason: It's a mindset. If you have to have tea and coffee, you are essentially cheating. And if you cheat in that way, you'll likely cheat in other ways too.
Good luck.

Am diabetic, a 16-8 IF works well for me for both blood sugar and weight control. If you have a family the easiest way to accomplish this is to skip breakfast. Start with your normal family dinner time, then subtract 6-8 hours from that and make that your lunch time.
