I've been doing it for 2 weeks now and I've found it pretty easy. I did overeat the other night, but considering I used to binge eat every single night, after a little sulk I didn't let it get me too down.
I haven't seen much weight loss, around 7 or 8lbs in total. This annoyed me at first but then I had to remind myself that I didn't want to lose much and there have been other benefits. I also haven't really changed my diet within the 8 hour eating window. I havent picked at naughty foods, but if I fancied a biscuit, I had a biscuit sort of thing. I did notice though how little if at all I craved sugar and went to those kinds of food, I've not wanted to go into the snack cupboard. I havent really missed them at all bar the other night. It sounds like you've been eating better than I have, not that I've been eating bad, but you know what I mean.
On the other hand I have less bloat, my skin already looks better, my clothes are going on easier and I feel mentally more clear and organised. I wish sleep would improve but that's always been an issue for me. I wish more weight would come off my bottom half. I've naturally chunky legs and at the age of nearly 35 I'm still to accept them. Wouldn't it be lovely if we could choose where our weight loss comes off!
It's hard to say if you should continue as it seems like you arent seeing much positives right now. Are you finding yourself hungry sooner? Maybe try the 14:10 or the other various ways of doing it? I read somewhere it took someone around 5 weeks to see a real difference in weight. For me this is a change in lifestyle. My binging was out of control at night so being able to STOP eating at 8pm has given me some control back.
I will stick at it as I really haven't felt it's too bad and I haven't felt deprived. But if im 2-3 months in and my body shape hasn't changed then I think I will feel abit disheartened. No, weight loss isn't the be all and end all but when you cut out binging on 10 chocolate bars, 5 bags of crisps, a pack of biscuits, a pack of cakes, a bag of sweets and 3 ice creams a time (pretty much every day), all foods we are led to believe have an effect on our weight, you bloody want to see a change in your body lol
