A great diet IMO Intermittent fasting (IF)

AvadaKedavra

Hi all,

As some of you will know, I started IF around 6 weeks ago roughly knowing that many others have benefited from it. For those who do not know what it is about, to give you my regime to help understand. I eat between 2-6 PM every day, this can if you wish be altered to suite your day for example you could have 12-4 or any other variant, what's more this does not have to be four hours it could be a maximum of 8 (recommend) or anything less, sometimes I will decrease mine to 1 hour! The rest of the time so for example 6PM until 2pm the next day (20 hours) you fast, I sleep through some of this period so it makes things much easier, I do not struggle at all now but did when I first started.

The benefits I found from this was, FAT loss in areas that previously I could not get to, love handles lower abs etc. I feel energized all the time, I do not eat different foods than before I just eat it in that window of 4 hours. while you are sleeping and exercising on a fast, your body is using your stored fat for energy.

Where as with my old diet eating 6 smaller meals per day, I was actually constantly feeding my body therefore it was finding it harder to access my fat stores for energy and for the most part was using my food for energy, thus why I could not burn my fat in areas such as lower abs etc... I also drink lots of water is important and green tea while on the fast, you can drink tea and coffee just not with milk or sugar if possible.

So I have lost 1 stone 2 pound to date, but lost more fat than I ever have. I would love for someone here who wants to shift a few pounds to try this and see how you get on.

Thanks

Well I have reported this as spam. If it is not spam it is certainly weird.

It may be of help to some in getting their big fat gut behind the steering wheel I will give op the benefit of the doubt as a post in the wrong board.

I've been IF'ing for years leangains style!

Yes it does work, but I do the Eat Stop Eat Brad Pilon plan twice per week - it really is money saving as no breakfast or lunch twice per week!!

Yes, it does help you get your fat but into a bmw 3 series alot easier lol:rotfl:

So how will it take weight off my car then?

Surely one or other of the forums that handle health, food or lifestyle matters would have been appropriate?

Plenty of IF's on the road.

Middle lane hoggers and people on the phone are my top 2 IF's
