I’ve done intermittent fasting on and off over the years with good results. Recently I had a few episodes of diverticulitis so started taking Metamucil each morning in a glass of orange juice to increase my fibre. I’m borderline overweight...

Hey guys, I’ve just recently started on intermittent fasting and I’m not sure whether I’m on the right track. I’m starting small, going to the gym three times a week and working with a trainer once a week. I’m upping the...
Hi guys I'm starting spam and pickles today. I had been interested in the snake diet/Cole for a while but never really implemented it, this new approach seems very non-intimidating to me. I've done keto and carnivore and...
The internet is full of contradicting information regarding protein supplements. I have heard the argument that the average American already receives an adequate amount of protein in the diet, meaning there is no need for addition supplement. On the other...
If you can only supposedly absorb 20-25 grams of protein in one sitting, then why do people have protein shakes for example with protein so high? I’ve seen people have over 80 grams of protein in shakes. Does the extra...
Did 18/6 earlier this month for a week. I had to stop because I had a diarrhea. It was mainly liquid since I drank a lot of water. Multiple times a day made the experience bad. Maybe because of too...
Im trying to do a high protein diet but finding it really hard to hit 100g protein daily while doing IF. I feel uncomfortably full already with what I’m eating. Any tips for increasing protein intake?
I used to use IF to just keep myself in check; combined with regular fitness. I was never "thin" but I was strong and always felt confident with my body. I am now 2.5 stone heavier than that. I know...
Hello! I started fasting (18/6) about 3 months ago and I am actually gaining weight. Usually (even before fasting) I eat around 1000 calories a day. I am 25f with a very sedentary lifestyle (medical student). Before fasting I did...
Hello dear fasting people What sweeteners are safe to use in the fasting period? I sometimes use Sacharin or stevia, but I wonder whether it would cause an insulin response? Thanks a lot for your answers or inspiration
I fast on alternating days and over the summer I will have unavoidable social obligations that go through lunch time. I have no problem fasting and I honestly enjoy it. I just don’t really want to deal with the awkward...
Nothing too stupid to ask, please feel free.
First time posting here. I've read the diabetes code twice and I think it's the best explanation of diet and diabetes I've come across. My prior attempt at getting my diabetes and weight under control was Whole Foods Plant Based....
Not something I plan to do. Just curious if it’s sustainable to get as much as you need without actually eating.
You know what they say: you are what you eat. And if that's true, then I'm probably a pizza with a side of fries. But in all seriousness, nutrition is important, and it's fascinating to learn about the science behind...
I'm curious as to what people are eating on a daily basis for their fasting. I have more or less been following the same diet for a few years now. I break my fast with a protein shake at around...

I just completed my first 48hrs of the snake juice and broke fast with a blood orange and some pineapple, while my food is cooking (chickapea curry & couscous). I’m a vegan and a farmer so I’ll be breaking my...
In fitness and muscle building, the macronutrient protein shows itself to be integral to the process. However, some of the ways to maintain such a diet seem difficult and over-the-top. Or maybe I'm a wuss with a small appetite who...
What do I say to someone who says you don't get enough protein with a plant based diet?
People are starting to notice me “shrinking” which is reassuring because it means there actually is fat loss happening. I do tend to lose weight on my face quite quickly and dramatically though. So that could be part of it....
I recently started doing a ketogenic diet. I workout hard about 5x a week, the other 2 days I’m doing aerobic stuff like walking 2 miles. I also started doing IF and eating 2 meals a day. I lost a lot...
Hi everyone, apologies if this post is a rehash, but I wanted to get some advice on how to build up some more muscle mass while intermittent fasting. I'm a 43 year old guy, 190 cm and around 82 kg...
I assume it was the protein shake industry? Or maybe the meat industry?
Is noon-1pm the ideal time to start your OMAD? I think it is because: The sun is brightest during the mid point day - our biorhythms are most awake at this time including digestion Fasting in the morning is relatively easy - esp...

So I've (34M, 5'10 CW: 188 GW: 170) been doing IF since late October and seen great results so far. I was mostly on an 18:6 with some days of OMAD. There have been a few setbacks (holidays, briefly had...

I'm interested to hear your arguments against following a plant-based (plant-forward) diet. I don't mean vegan or vegetarian, but essentially an omnivore diet that's centered on whole plant foods (whole-food plant-based, WFPB) and sometimes adds animal-based and ultraprocessed foods. I'm surprised...

Apologies if this has been asked already but is drinking a protein shake ( with water) breaking your fast. I’ve read from some people that this isn’t the case but wondered what the consensus is.
