I’m still in the very beginning of my journey but I’ve noticed that this lifestyle seems to make it easier to resist going back to bad habits. It would be fun and inspiring to hear which habits you’ve managed to...

A few weeks ago I only managed a 1 and a half day fast because during dinner time the cravings were so strong I gave in and I just started a fast again. I developed a bad habit of eating a...
Is there any research on stretching the time you take to eat a meal? For example finishing your breakfast in 3 hours by eating little by little. ​ It may affect on how your stomach has to be constantly digesting food, but...
I have been doing some calorie counting and fasting recently and it’s really helping me save money! I haven’t calculated the savings yet. I’m two weeks in and just noticed it. I have a bad habit of spending way too...

It's been over 2 years since I first discovered IF. I've been a huge fan ever since and even lost 10kg with 18:6 (last meal at 6pm) and a bit of OMAD too. I went from 97kg to 87kg in...
I'm measuring by days completed rather than day started, hence starting is Day 0 42F My plan is 100 days of: 1. 20:4 IF 2. 20 hrs clean fast (only water, no-milk-tea, black coffee allowed) 3. evening run after work (I'm training for a half...

I just wanted to say that- I used to do full day fasts once a week, and it was a bit of a struggle. But I had in recent months started the bad habit of eating late, and it was...

Hey all. Fasting is not new to me. I've successfully burned all the excessive body fat around 3 years ago, but I gained it back due to bad habits. Basically I started at \~75kg doing OMAD keto, got...
So I knew this day would come. After three weeks of totally clean OMAD eating in which I counted my proteins, cut out all processed sugars, embraced good fats, and drank nothing but water/black coffee, a day came where I...
I got so excited by the noticeable, measurable progress and getting within 10 lbs of my GW, that 2 peculiar mental twists snuck in: 1) I should celebrate by being more lax and eating junk food; and 2) I should...
Being in the South, I used to tell people I'm fasting, but that invariably just ends with them patronizing me with "fasting is bad for you", or teasing me with the food they are eating for lunch. My full...

I wanted to post this because it seems like a lot of people have family members/friends with bad habits and get a lot of criticism. I looked back at a picture of myself when my mom said I was getting...
I say this because I am one of them. I’ve used traditional Omad to get to my goal in the past, rebounded, found extended fasting, rebounded even harder. I’m now on my fourth attempt at getting to and maintaining my...
I'm usually pretty good about sticking to my fasting and OMAD + keto routine. But Thanksgiving happened, there was carbs, and lots of them. Basically everything I ate was packed with carby goodness. Now I'm laying here, 24 hours into my...
Hey yall, So im trying to get back into intermittent fasting. Im usually not hungry in the morning towards noon but as soon as I get home from work I start craving chips and chocolate lol Any tips to deter these...
For example any grain and legume contain some B-vitamins, potassium and etc. Does nutrients leach out into soaking water? I'm mainly concerned about potassium content and to what extent it is reduced?

Specially specifics like oxalate free diet or seed cycling, etc. Not the typical “I stopped eating dairy or sugar”
Diets have come and gone over the years and all connect with some sort of idea that eating needs to be “one way only.” What myths are still floating out there?
