I found an 8 hour window to be just too long. I vary between a 2-5 hour window, and throw in a monthly 3-5 day fast - and find that much more effective. You may just need to try a shorter window - I think the 8 hour window works better for men.
Maybe do a few days a week omad or a two hour window, or include a 24 -36 hour fast once or twice a week and reevaluate. I really am starting to think that calories don’t matter but only if it’s from protein and fat.
Hey Jspl1! I can only speak for myself, but I found that I have to be super strict with carbs to stay in ketosis, my range is definitely under 20g net, best for me is around 15g.
The calories count, but not as much as hitting my protein and restricting carbs. Some days I go over my calorie goal and it doesn’t affect my loss. As for the fast, I’m doing a daily 20:4, and it works really well for me, I’m steadily losing 2-3lbs a week.
