Hi everyone, I recently received, read and was impressed by the Michael Moseley fast 800 plan, so I did some looking around the internet and have found a fair few people who start... But never seem to post updates or...
I am starting today and will quit eating at 6 pm. I plan on the 16:8. Will I notice a faster weight loss if I do this rather than fasting 14 hours? Also, do I need to watch my...
About 10 years ago I lost 35 pounds on the 5:2 intermittent fasting technique popularized by Michael Mosley. Basically, I ate "normally" for 5 days and restricted calories to 500 for 2 days. I liked it because 5 days of...

I’m trying to determine the difference between fasting for 40-48 hours and 60 - 65 hours. For example, I’m experimenting with this eating schedule: finish eating on Sunday at 6pm and don’t eat until 6am on Wednesday. I then eat...
You all are so helpful and I hope you will indulge me with another question. This is the second day in a row I am having the same issue. I allocate 1250 calories per day and go 16/8. Today I...

Hi! Why do so many people say eating 800 calories a day for 4-6 weeks would cause health issues but some people water fast for a month at a time and it’s not frowned upon? Obviously in this scenario you...
This is my first time fasting. I’ve done intense diets on the line of keto or 800 cal a day with some daily fasting but nothing like this. Do you guys have any tips on how to deal with cravings...
Hi fasters. I’m doing a 4 day fast. So far I’m still working out.,curious how much you all workout with a fast like this? For reference, I’m an athlete and can burn up to 800 just in cardio per day normal. However,...
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...
I've been doing 20:4 daily since early January. It's going very well, and I was surprised how easily I was able to adapt to this routine. I decided to skip my meal period yesterday due to a class I had...
Hi all. New to fasting. I’m doing 5:2 and so far am liking the results and sort of actually like the discipline that goes into this. I have a goal to lose a reasonably aggressive 30 pounds over 4-5 months...
So I started intermittent fasting almost two years ago. I'm 5ft 2 and stated at over 64kg I set myself 3 goals. 1 to get under 57kd and stay there. 2 I'd be happy to get to 54kg . And...
Using very basic calculations, if we can assume 1 period of a 24hr fast = 0.5lb burned, it would take 20 days of 24hr fasts to burn 10lbs, right? Given the above, how does this work with OMAD at maintenance?...

So while ago back in February, my brother made a bet with me since he was concerned for my health. He said “If you can reach down to 300 pounds or less before your birthday November 25th, I’ll give you...
Are you supposed to eat all your calories in one sitting or even less than what you need? For example, to lose weight I am recommended to eat 1400 calories, but my question is, with fasting would I eat all...

it involves keto omad 1000-1500 cal per day, and cole says you’ll lose minimum 20, max 50 (?!) lbs per month? i am wondering if this is physically possible. also wondering if rolling 48s will “fuck your metabolism” as he warns...
I know People recommend a ton of different fasting lengths and I’ve done everything from 16:8 to multiple day fasts in the past (however I failed every fasting and keto diet in the past as I always fall off the...

The last few days I get really full within my eating window but have only consumed maybe 800-900 calories. And then later in the evening I get ravenously hungry. I’ve been eating protein (at least 70g+) and balancing my meals....
I am doing a dirty fast as it’s my first time going this long. For me, this means I am having bone broth and the occasional scoop of collagen (maybe once a week). A couple days ago, I had a...

So I'm on a 7-day fast and I was just wondering will I put the weight back on after I begin eating again? Don't get me wrong I'm not going to eat like a pig for the first few days...
I just started fasting a week or two ago and I'm never hungry when I finish. I forced myself to eat a hard boiled egg, but I'm absolutely stuffed. Is this normal? I only ate 800 calories yesterday and burned...
I started it not knowing that it would turn into a 72hr fast! I still have 5 hours remaining, but I'm feeling great, and up until the last hour I wasn't feeling hungry at all (I'm now making chicken broth...
I (M23) am 6'4 and weigh 370 lb - that's pretty obese. In the past, I've done extended water fasts, the longest being 4 days and pretty much I always lost 3 lb per day. I've seen a few posts here...

He's vegan which upsets a lot of people, but I'm genuinely curious how many people trust or distrust him.
I see most people are doing longer than 2 days of dry fasting. I want to start out with a 24 - 36 hour fast a few times a month. I’m not looking to reverse a disease. My issues are...
I noticed a few people here recently who were not so honest about their progress. The problem is that this creates more frustration, saddness and self-disgust for the people who actually try to get inspired by those people. I’ve seen...
Does anyone else feel stuffed with not enough calories after breaking their fast? I measure and weigh everything, so I'm not underestimating my caloric intake. Did any of you ever go through a period where you physically could not eat...
Hi guys, I wanted to get some feedback. I do 18:6 and only eat twice a day (dirty fasting during my window with coffee & milk). I use MyFitnessPal and my total is about 800-900 calories a day while hitting...

I had a question for all my fasting friends out there. Particularly the longer fasters (OMAD, 22/2, 20/4). How's fasting going on for yal? Have you taken a break from fasting or perhaps just reducing your fasts to accommodate family...
Hi everyone. Posting here for knowledge as I know you’re all a knowledgeable and supportive bunch. I’ve lost approximately 12 pounds since December the 19th from fasting for 48-72 hours and breaking the fast with an OMAD keto meal then...
I know that technically IF also puts you in a calorie deficit but I was wondering if it was dangerous to also only eat 700-1000 calories per day (recommended deficit for women) while fasting? I plan to also lift/exercise everyday...

I'm a returning faster and used to be active on this sub but am coming back for another month or 2. Previously when I fasted I was active at work but now I have a desk job and was wondering...
so, using the calories in calories out law, if you are consuming more calories than you need, then you will definitely gain weight, and the other way around is weight loss. if one person is consuming high amounts of carbohydrates, as...
Im doing 16:8 and finding that I’m anywhere from 200 to 500+ calories below the 2000cal I wanted to be at daily. I find it hard to cook enough in my eating window and can’t really put a lot of...

My TDEE is 2,762 and “Cutting” is listed as 2,262. I downloaded MyFitnessPal as well and it suggested 1,800 calories based on my desire to lose 2 lbs a week. How do I know what to go by please? As...

My friend is very skeptical that intermittent fasting is really that different from counting calories. They think that IF primarily works because you’re just eating less calories overall because your window is smaller than average—not because the actual timing/window matters...

Kidding aside, I'm wondering what the accepted window of time is to eat your OMAD. I'm new at cooking so I'm not good at the whole get everything ready all at once thing, so I tend to just make something...
In the past, I’d try cutting calories, and my metabolism would almost freeze. No matter how little I ate, I’d only lose a few pounds and I’d gain it back the moment I started eating normally. Keto during...
