I’ve previously done 16:8 IF and lost 66 lbs (30kg). Recently I’ve slowly put on around 20 lbs and want to lose it again. For a long time I was calorie counting but it’s something I want to move away...
Hypothetically speaking, with my appetite I could quite happily consume 6000 calories in an hour, having done OMAD for a while and was wondering if it would be possible/ inconsequential for long term health to do this consistently at 48...

I'm interested in starting fasting for weight loss but am a little confused on how it works. Is it no food at all during fast or just liquids/bone broths? Also could this mess up my metabolism at all?
