I'm doing eating 5pm - on

I'm a big fan of IF. My last meal is usually between 8-9 pm and then no food until around 10 am the next morning. Not as long of a fast as some people around here, but I think that 12 hours is really important for gut health.

ya ive done it if u got any question i can answer basic ones im on the 16 hours a day fast 24 hours too hard ive made it to 20 hours.

gives good results especially if u add cardio or lifting when ur on the fast

alot of people seem to have done this. but whats the reasoning behind it? just anecdotal evidence?

just asking cause i feel like if u see results from this its just cause ur still eating less calories overall, cause its difficult to eat so much in one sitting so it sort of limits the total calories u consume if u only have a small time to be able to eat it.

yea u can force urself to eat ALOT in a small amount of time, but its just more difficult to do.

then again u could say well these people counted their calories to a set amount and see better results doing IF than eating throughout the day with same amount of calories. then id ask, okay so whats the reason?

i always thought that was the point of it.. you fast for say 16 hours and your stomach starts to shrink and you cant eat as much so you lose some weight.. that was my assumption.

i believe the point of it is.. its harder to eat more calories in a certain time span compared to all day. Also, its great knowing you could FEAST and still be way under your calorie deficit.

I read you burn fat easier in a fasted state as well
