Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

This is pretty brilliant. It's a podcast. And it's about leptin, mTOR, insulin, intermittent fasting and hedonic satisfaction.

Hello everyone! I’m trying out intermittent fasting to get past no/slow weight loss I’ve come into now that I’m close to 9mo post op and weigh much less. Sooooo I hope you don’t mind it if I join you guys here and ask questions! While fasting what do you use to sweeten coffee and tea? Also, how bad is a splash of fair life milk in the coffee? I want to get all the benefits of fasting that I’ve read about so if need be I will just stick to Water if those things will indeed get in the way.

Just watched this YouTube with Dr. Longo and Dr. Hyman. Fascinating absolutively fascinating!!

(The bottom line is that there is no "one size fits all diet from a perspective of macros." It's all based on your nutritional status, metabolic health, age, etc..

Cool stuff.

Ok experimented again with Olive Garden 2 more times. Hehehehe

Ate everything I wanted LOL- endless salad and like 3 bread sticks each time. 1 time I had 1/3 of a tiramisu 😍

Each time my weight bounced up for a night and went right back down after a mega BM (TMI but that's how we roll 😅)

155lbs is where my body likes to play. But I was in Hell Week (luteal) so i did need more cals as well 💃💃💃💃

Hello IF gang!

Has anyone managed to get to 48 hours? I just finished the Obesity Code (great book) and I have managed a two 20 fasts and just finished a 33 hour fast. I could have went longer since I didn't feel any adverse effects or hunger but I dunno--I freaked out. Like I am terrified I am going to suddenly pass out from an electrolyte imbalance or something will go amiss with my BP (I have hypertension). I need some IF balls, people!!!

Congrats!!! IKR? The longest I've been able to do was 42hours and I didn't feel so great. I kept worrying about my blood pressure and maybe being malnourished? My bp went very high.

But I'm losing, so I just keep working on building my fasting muscle.

How do you feel? Welcome back btw!!

Lol, okay so @FluffyChix wisely talked me down from a true IF since I’m only 10 weeks post-sleeve, but I still follow this thread.
I love Dr Fungs style and will so totally be trying some actual IF once I hit 6-8 months post.
What I pretty much do every single day is a 16:8. My sleeve is soooooo tight in the morning that only Water (and more recently coffee) will sit well in the morning and I usually have zero food of any kind till 11am-ish. I try to make sure I have nothing after 7pm and I take an 800mcg Chromium supplement with my evening meal.
I have to admit that the only reason I start eating at 11am is that it freaks me out to not have Protein coming in after 15-16 hours of fasting and I know my sleeve is only going to be able to hold so much this early so I don’t (and shouldn’t) go longer.
However, have gone a couple occasions where the fast has been longer and I felt great.

Can’t wait to play around with a 24 then 48 hour fast in a few months
