I have reached my first goal and want to focus on my body composition (lose a little more fat). I have started researching intermittent fasting and it seems like a very safe way to encourage the body to burn more fat, level blood sugar spikes, and lower insulin levels. I really like that you don't have to be eating a certain diet to take advantage of the benefits it has to offer. I am currently listening to the book "The Complete Guide to Fasting" by Dr. Jason Fung and Jimmy Moore.

Have any of you tried this or are doing it long term after having WLS? Can you share your experiences? Thank you!!!

Three years later and I am still doing the 16:8 IF eating plan and loving it. I eat all my meals in an 8 hour window and then fast for 16 hours. I have been able to maintain my goal weight within a 15 pound up or down bounce and still controlling my type 2 with just diet and exercise.
