Fasting for weight loss
This is day 4 for me. Going to keep it up until I have shed this gut I gained since Covid. So about 145 lbs. currently around 160.
16:8. Usually start around 9pm-1 pm. Depending on my mood, I’ll start it right after dinner so around 6/7pm. Might change to 18:6
Hoping to lose the weight I gained over Covid and get back into shape.
Only concern is the type of food I’m eating at home. I’m the only one doing it and I have a wife and 2 kids that still eat normal. Not sure what I’m eating is beneficial.
I want as much autophagy as possible: I started fasting at 11:30pm on Dec. 31. So I’m currently at 25.5 hours.
Using the Simple app, not consuming any calories. Going to see if I can make it through the night - maybe another day?
Just started OMAD - breaking fast at 8pm today after my last meal at 9pm yesterday. I’m currently 200 lbs - the highest I’ve ever been but I’m determined to get it off this year to 147lbs or so (5’9” 31F).I’ve never felt so unattractive and I’m hoping that fasting will help me lose weight, and also give me a sense of control over my health. I have done 16:8 before and found it easy, so aiming for OMAD for the foreseeable future.Glad to be part of a community with this!
•Fasting for weight loss
•Eating window: noon-8pm or 2pm-8pm
•Length: 16:8 a few days, mostly 18:6
•I desperately need to lose 30#. I’m uncomfortable in my own skin. Recently moved cross country and the 5000’ elevation gain is really showing me how bad of shape I’m in.
•So far, I feel great! No problems sticking to the schedule, very little temptation to eat out of boredom. I’m taking 1 Plentity capsule 3x/day which is totally helping the cravings - a temporary boost. I have done nothing to count calories, just trying to eat less. Considering WW as a convenient means of keeping me in check?Only a week in and have gained half a pound!! I know I shouldn’t scale watch and I’ll try to get better at it… but how long did it take you to notice the scale doing something?
Planning on doing the 16:8 for this month to see how it goes, i need some ideas for meals.
What should i eat? What should i avoid? I want to lose weight but gain muscle at the same time. Currently 178 and 5’6 :(
Fasting for weight loss.

Started 2 weeks ago but cheated Christmas week :(
Working up to 24 hour fast my first is today. So hungry……
I take medication that my big side effect is I never feel full and always want food. Hilariously I lost a ton of weight on my last medication because food tasted awful.
Last week I did three 48h fasts with OMAD in between. I just started a 72h fast about one hour ago, ending Weds at 12:30. I’ve done one 72h before, but it was really tough, so I’m hoping I do better this time. I have the electrolytes and salt, so fingers crossed.
I’m doing it for weight loss, I need to lose about 10lbs. At that point, I plan on stopping the rolling 48s and just doing OMAD or 20:4 to maintain for a couple of months. Then I would like to go back in and lose and additional 5 lbs.
Once I hit 115/120lbs, I would like to go back in to start body recomp. I’m an old, so I want to keep my muscles and bones strong.

Fasting for weight loss and improved cholesterol scores (doc says I’m borderline needing cholesterol lowering meds).
Starting today, with 16:8 - want to do this for a week or so then get to 20:4.
After maybe two or three weeks, the goal is to be able to do 3 day fasts once or twice a month, while maintaining something like 16:8 or 18:6 (or OMAD?) in between.
Currently 248 lbs, want to get to 199 or lower by July 1st.
Wish me luck!!
Fasting for weight loss
16:8, eating window from 12pm-8pm, water allowed outside of this
Day 9 of indefinite (will do it at least until early May).
I’m feeling a lot less hungry during my fasting window than I originally was! I think my body is getting used to this. I’m not being super picky about what I eat during my eating window, but I definitely want to eat less sugar. Fasting means that I’m eating a LOT less sugar than I used to (no late night snacking or early morning breakfast substitutes) but there is still work to go!
