16:8 IF May 16 -> August 22, 85kg to 75.8kg (Almost 10kg lost)

​ [This was my progress over roughly 3 months of intermittent fasting and cleaning up my diet! I had gained a lot of weight due to some stressful circumstances \(including COVID of course\) and was generally eating terribly, but didn't really realise how big I had gotten \(my weight is usually around 72kg, so this was a big jump for me\). I started doing 16:8 and within two weeks I already felt a massive improvement, less bloated, more in control of my cravings. I stuck with it for three months and was doing 16:8, starting my eating window usually around 10am but some days would end up doing more like 18:6 if I wasn't feeling too hungry in the morning. I tried doing the fasting till later in the day but found that I never really felt like I could start my morning until I'd sat down and had breakfast! During this time I was counting calories in the beginning to get a general idea of how much I was eating, and gradually became less focused on the calories and more focused on just eating until I was satisfied and eating high quality food. I had also stopped lifting weights as consistently and started back up again which I think helped, even if it was just helping with stress relief! ](https://preview.redd.it/w57qxa815p681.jpg?width=1638&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd94ce01f493e0787116b8c834fee1d77331cfac)
