For those over a year out. Has anyone tried intermittent fasting. I am just reading the Obesity Code and it makes a lot of sense. Thinking of trying it.

Thanks Outsidematchinginside. I may give this a go

Easiest intermittent fasting is after dinner, no food until late morning. Not for everyday but a couple times a week. My only experience with IF is before being sleeved. Was just sleeved yesterday. I won't be doing any IF for along time, until I get enough protein and fluids.

I agree. No need to do it for quite a while. I am readinng the book The Obesity Code and it makes a lot of sense. Been stalled and finding my balance since about 10 months post op. Now I want to see if I can loose a bit more.

I like the after dinner idea. That does sound easier.

A coworker just mentioned it to me today. Said his family does it - they eat between 12-8 I think he said and fast the rest of the time.

I did 5:30 last evening to 9:30 this morning and cut off at 5:00 tonight. This is totally doable. If nothing else my night time snacking will be alleviated. Going to try to stick to this plan for a few weeks and see how things go. I would love to hear anyone else's long term experiences.

Did another 5:00 pm-9 AM "fast", and 2 lbs down in 2 days. I know it's just water. But I will update this thread periodically as to how it goes.

Update: 3 lbs in 3 days. Had some nausea that woke me at night. I think it was because of an empty stomach. Not eating after 5:00 pm wasn't too hard. I will probably continue with more of a 12 hour fast rather than 16 hours to see how this does. Also, I believe this helped with restriction. I felt like I actually ate less on the 8 hours when I could eat.

Hi all!!! Im due to be sleeved on 8-21-17. Im excited and a lil nervous but am anticipating the out come. I just wanted to jump in on the IF...It was one of the the methods I used along with the Keto lifestyle and it worked very well. But then I developed heel spurs and had to have foot surgery and was in bandages and a cam boot for a while and was knocked out Ketosis. But it really works if your disciplined. I am considering the Ketogenic lifestyle along with IF again after surgery when im fully healed. I think it's great for those who hit a plateau in losing.
