I've been losing a little bit of weight but I almost can't tell the difference due to my belly always being bloated and large and my hips still looking more or less the same. So I'm guessing the weight that...

If yes, can you share your diet?
It’s all in the title, I keep falling off the wagon. Giving in to “cheat days” then those days turn into a 3 day binge including binge drinking. I know I want this, I want to change and lose weight...
I haven't done the snake diet in a while, and I'm planning to do it a ton this summer, but last time I did the snake juice tasted so NASTY it was hard to drink. Is there an easier way...

**Hey Everyone!** So, I've been debating wether to post my story here or not, but I feel reading someone else's experience when it comes to any situation helps others put into perspective the "rights and wrongs" of certain things, fasting/dieting...
So I'll try to make this as condensed as possible. For reference SW:315, CW: 188, GW: 160-170. Sober 231 days. As of recently, I've been posting way too much. In summary, I went from thinking about quitting the gym, to getting...
I bought the snake juice packets on Amazon and to be honest, they taste absolutely horrible. I take 3 packets a day and have been literally chugging each packet that I take which has caused horrible bowel movements and...
I’ve been doing 36 hour fasts semi regularly and really notice a big difference in how I feel, especially pertaining to inflammation. I Just spent the holidays back home and ate pretty poorly during my stay, so I wanted to...

I broke my fast after only 3 days of doing 16:8 (it’s my first-ish time). I’m a single mom to a toddler and 6 month old (both amazing) but I feel like I had kids with the wrong person even...
So, a bit of context - I’ve been (sort of) intermittent fasting for all of fall, but not well- I’m not strict nor do I set eating windows, but my ADHD meds really suppress my appetite. I’ll randomly snack in...

I quit cannabis last week, and the sickening withdrawals inspired me to start fasting last Thursday. No food, just some water. The first shart came last night. I do have GI issues and have sharted many a time before, so...

If you’re on a long fast, don’t stop! Keep going till you’re finished. I just prematurely broke a 72 and feel like the biggest loser on earth. Hunger pangs, cravings, and bad breath are nothing compared to the shitty feeling...
I notice pretty much everyone just wants to drink and eat like shit every time they want to hang out. Its fucking my shit up. If i don't hang out then I lose street cred with the homies. If i hang out with...

People are fucking stupid. Over a couple years, the shit I’ve read on this subreddit or other forums related to the snake diet is mostly brain dead or just lazy. The snake diet is the simplest thing ever. Stop eating. Mix...

I always hear how important nutrition is in mental health & feeling your best, how true is this?
I noticed that no one in the IIYFM community is talking about keeping MICRONUTRIENTS in check for overall health. Are macros and calories more important than micronutrients?
I watched the game changers documentary and im curious about the plant based diet. Has anyone tried it? If so did any change happen? Was your physical performance better or worse? Im very curious.
Today something really unfortunate happened to me. I went to a cycling class and the two front desk girls looked at me then at each other and laughed. This is the first time something like this has happened and to...
I'm interested to hear what the overall take on this from fasters who understand the hormonal impact of fasting on the body. Dr. Fung rarely qualifies this statement and uses black and white terminology such as "the CICO theory has...

First there was keto and now the "carnivores" are on the rise. The "carnivore diet" seems to become a new trend and many people claim that it has benefits like: • losing weight without calorie counting • being healthier and feeling better • no...

I'm totally ignorant about fasting. I was thinking about fasting 3 days a week, is it a good idea? Is it better to continuously fast or alternate? I am 78kg and 161cm, I'd like to lose at least 10 kg because...
I just get derailed so easy. I fast 23:1 most days and just overeat and binge on shit foods. I’ve done a few 3 and 4 days fasts this year but damn I feel out of control. Any tips or...

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....
Hi all, Been intermittent fasting for 2 years on a 16:8 hour eating window, plant-based diet, eating enough during the window. Did it for the cellular benefits. i.e autophagy, lipid profile, and to stay slim. I had to finally be honest with...

This one does come flavored maybe it could be good for beginners. Do you guys think it would work the same way? I'm think about buying some and experimenting with it.
How good is not shitting? I love going for a few days without having to do a shit. Anyone else feel this way?
Probably a dumb question, but I assume that urination would indicate that ruination would mean that the nutrients that has been absorbed where used and filtered if needed. Intaking nutrients prior to urinating may overwhelm the blood stream then. Correct...
My goal was for 110 hours, I’m currently 92 hours in. I might be going to a Greek restaurant tonight I don’t know for sure yet, but if I do, I’m unsure of whether to eat or not. I’d probably...

Hello everyone. I've tried different patterns from18/6 to OMAD an it works great for a while but then it stops. What I mean is that when I'm at my heaviest (let's say close to 100kg) I have no problem doing OMAD every...
I'm pretty experienced with fasting through Jason Fung's stuff and always had urgent, turbo poops shortly after breaking a fast. I tried psyllium husk, metamucil, various foods and macro-combinations, easing into breaking a fast and all lead me to full...

I’m really wanting to give IF another go but have tried and fell off before in large part due to my changing work schedule. I work a fairly strict 8.5 hours a day (with a 30 minute lunch), and I’m...
Im wondering if warnings about kids and junk food are overstated. My uncertainty comes from the fact that many people who ate "poorly" as a kid are very healthy now, and that teens inherently need a ton of calories. Many...
I've been ADF for a few months and have maintained weight while gaining strength like crazy - eating without calorie counting and with carbs as much as I want. Strong and lightest I've ever been. It's great! However,...

Admittedly, it’s not much regain, but I’ve totally lost all my motivation to keep going. It’s so easy to fall off the wagon, but so hard to get back on. Would you mind sharing your tips for when you feel hopeless...
I want to hear the most controversial opinions
I fasted for 50 hours and only lost 2 pounds. What’s up with that? Just recently got back in to fasting and went 50 hours before breaking my fast and during I only drank water and drank snake juice once...

Hey I'm relatively new to fasting. I'm doing the warrior fasting because I already had some good experience with the 16/8 fasting in the past although I wasn't really doing that consecutively for a longer time but I always felt...
I work a pretty much steady desk job. By that I mean I’m stuck in front of my screen for 10 hours a day. Some of the day I’m busy but most of it I’m pretty bored or tired of...
I've always wanted to start with IF. The biggest barrier was my continuous cycle of cravings and dependence on blood sugar. Ive been recovering from a medical incident earlier this year and just a few months ago I couldn't...

I started fasting last Fri (137 hours ago bit who's counting....👀) with originally the intention of doing 7 days and then because my flatmate is doing 14 days I decided I would give it a go. I have fasted once...
Seems like it makes sense because the glycogen stores are depleted, I did an about 20 DF until yesterday where I had an 8 hour eating window, with my last meal being pretty large, ate 4 boiled eggs, salmon, homemade...
What’s up everyone, I’m just trying to figure out how some people do fasts up to 3, 4, maybe even 5 days. I see people talking about this sometimes and I’ve been doing fasting for about 8 months now, I...
Other than nuts and popcorn. Are there any shelf stable crackers, chips, etc that you know of that aren't super processed?
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...

Hello all! I’ve done this diet inconsistently in the past. Probably not long enough to provide much benefit. I just weighed myself. I’m back to my heaviest I’ve been at 265lbs. Granted a lot of that weight gain recently has...
