Hi all! So I have been doing IF on & off since 2019. In 2019 I went from 175 to 143ish. Then I had my first baby! Went from 210 to 150. Now I just had my second baby back in October, and went from 195 to now 169.
I have always worked first shift, which was 0620-1430, so fasting was fairly easy. I stayed busy at work, preoccupied my mind and hands, until I was ready to eat. Well I changed positions at work and now I get to work graveyard, 2000-0600.
So my question is, who here works graveyard and IF? What does your work & eating schedule look like?
Any advice for CICO is helpful also! Currently eating 1000-1600, around 1200 calories, 5’2” :)
Answer
I work 11:30p-8a, and during my work week I usually do 20:4, as I have tea when I wake up (stopped with the coffee as I’m the person who needs a majority of creamer in black coffee), and then when I get to work have a little snack and then begin the fast 4 hours later (normally around 3:30a) - I’m not hungry when I come home, and usually get ready to go to bed. (My commute is about 40 min w/o traffic each way) Then on Fridays into Saturday- sometimes I can go 24 hours just because I’m catching up on sleep.
I also use the Fasting Tracker app to help me track
