Ahhhhh.  Good for you.  I'm still blazing along with the Keto diet but I am getting close to switching from 'diet' to lifestyle.  6 pounds to my ultimate goal.

There is no doubt in my mind that IF will be part of the long term for me.  I  have gone at least 12 for years, 14 is easy and 16 is doable.  

So thanks for showing me the way.  I'm really proud of your progress and it gives me hope for mine.

Well done!  I truly believe food can be your best friend or worst enemy!  I generally have my morning juices around 10 am...I never eat right when I get up.  So glad you are feeling better too.  Juicing was a huge game changer for me with regard to cravings and energy.  Turmeric has been a huge help with Mr. Bird, achy joints...  You're doing so well!!  Congrats :)

Intermittent fasting sounds interesting.  I am glad you are having success with it.

This is what I say as well, it's not a 'diet' it's just a lifestyle. It's just how I eat now and I don't even think about it anymore. My body is expectant of it. 

The only time I noticed anything different in my digestion, I simply added some yoghurt a few days a week as a treat with a banana in, which I don't do all the time as it is carbs, but I figured the cultures were good for digestion. 

This might sound odd, but when I think of comfort foods I find if I burn those wax heat disc things in autumn aromas like apple pie and cinnamon I still get that Fall feeling of comfort food without having to eat any of it.

Hello  i never heard about that diet but i heard about the benefits of fasting. I will have a look into it:)

I fast once a month. It was part of my religious practice. Then, it became a part of me.

It’s neat to see the results you’ve had with this IF! Is your low energy directly a result from this plan?

I’ve read an article on IF before that was somewhat similar to this one. However, I think that one said to consume all your food in a 2 hour window before bedtime. That seems a bit extreme to me(and a little undoable.) But I found it interesting how they pointed out that the Bible talks about supper all the time but doesn’t mention much about breakfast and dinner. 

I’ve tried skipping breakfast and wait to eat until late morning, and find that I’m not so groggy.

When I’m at work, I practice skipping breakfast. After a while, my stomach gets used to it. Only when 8 know I won’t have time for lunch then I go a light breakfast...

So what you’re doing is definitely right...

Glad to know that you are feeling better!
Diets and healthy food scheme work if you feel greater following.

Best regards.

Have heard so much of this intermittent fasting
So happy that it is working out for you
Maybe it is time to see it is one I can adopt
Thank you for sharing your journey 😊

I want to do the IF, too. My doctor war a bit sceptic and advised me to start with 14:10. I did that two months agor and considering changing to 16:8 in some weeks after the next visit at the doctor's. I don't know whether I lost weight because I have no scale at home - I don't want to let a number dictate my life. I can wear clothes I had for more than a decade and that's enough for me ;)

Kepping to the 14:10 wasn't difficult, no hunger or so. Only problem was foregoing my cup of coffee in the evening. The way I drink my coffee is "i like a bit of coffee in my milk" and because of that milk I had to stop that habit :(

Good going! I loved doing intermittent fasting (I think I've told you before how I did the 5:2 diet for 8 months last year and lost 31lbs). It's so much easier than a conventional diet, where you have weeks or months without going near any of your favourite foods. 
Also, people on IF usually lose weight around the waist, which is the most unhealthy place to store weight. I think it's a really healthy weight-loss method.
When I was fasting, my mum used to say, "Are you starving yourself today?"
I also decided to cut out sugar while I was losing weight, because I was addicted to it. I started buying 100% cocoa chocolate, which is sugar-free. It tastes odd at first, but it was a great way to determine whether it was the cocoa or the sugar that I was craving, and after a while I got used to the taste, and started to love it. Unlike with normal chocolate, I would only need to nibble a small amount to get my chocolate fix.

Yay glad that's going well for you :)

Congratulations! The effects are really impressive. Improvement of the body is in my opinion the greatest success and weight loss is just a (pleasant) bonus. I also congratulate you on eliminating bad habits and replacing them with good ones. I can't believe that chocolate belongs to the first one. 🙈😃 I still wonder why some people so easily accept some myths as the only truth.

WOW Its Amazing Post I Have Read And Follow You

Last time I read one of your updates, it was a 1lb loss! Not much to boast about..  but 11lbs, now that's something. A big well done... you need to celebrate by going to Poland in November I think :)

You are doing GREAT! It's working for me too - I skipped eating loads of carbs and then almost automatically I started 'intermitted fasting' because I simply wasn't hungry in the morning so I started eating only 2 meals a day - which also means I sort of magically ended up doing an IF sort of thing. I now just eat when I need food and feel great :-)

Don't let society tell you what is 'good' for you - it's all mantras and repetitive 'wisdom' <3

What an interesting idea!~ Glad it is working for you! Imay need to try this myself! ♥
