I have been doing 16:8 for 12 days. I am keeping to it and managing to exercise and I feel ok. But I am not noticing any weight-loss or increased energy. For context I have approx 10kg to lose so I thought I would lose the first few lbs quickly.
Do I just need to keep at it? Or am I likely to be going wrong somewhere. I have not been calorie counting in the 8 hour window but I haven't been overeating or having sugary snacks / dessert.

@LunaNorth I’m disheartened too. I will keep it up for another month because I am able to stick to it. But I’m not feeling the benefits people describe.
My skin is actually looking better. But I have been using retinol at night, so it’s probably down to that anyway.
