36:12 fasting

Is anyone else doing 36:12 fasting?

I have been doing IF since Feb (a combination of OMAD, 16:8, 20:4 and 18:6) and am 12kg down but have hit a plateau.

I am currently on my 3rd consecutive 36:12 cycle and have lost 1kg in the last 6 days, so it has kicked me off my plateau. Finding it easier on each fasting cycle and am really enjoying being able to have a full eating in between. Would love to connect with anyone else doing the same so we can support and encourage each other 😊

I did it this week as I was on holiday recently and wanted to lose the few pounds I gained (they were probably mostly water but I wanted to feel like I was back on it). I've decided to do it from Monday night to Wednesday every week as well as fasting through the week (I usually do OMAD or 2MAD. I've lost 40lb in 5 months, im hoping for at least a couple of stone more to bring me to 11 stone.

Hi All, how are we all doing?
Anyone still on 36:12?

Just a question, I've seen that as women, we should change fasting around our menstrual cycle and it is advised not to fast the later part of your cycle due to our hormones. Has anyone changed fasting based on this?
