Fasting

About 5 weeks ago I read Ultra Processed People and I've removed the vast majority of ultra processed food from our diet as a family. I weighed myself yesterday and noticed I've lost 4lbs

I'm a stone overweight and I'm considering trying out fasting

I heard on a Zoe podcast that fasting is different for women because of their cycles, I just wondered if anyone on here did fasting and how it works for you? Like how many calories do you have a fast days and have you found it difficult?

There's a fasting board on here.

I fast 8pm to 12pm, called 16:8, but I'm going to try to reduce my eating window and eventually be on 18:6, do I'll eat from 2. I was planning on starting on Monday but forgot and was hungry so I ate at 12, and haven't made any progress with moving the start time later.

Along with the fasting I also watch my carbs and now calories, too.

I do Fast 800, I fast for about 22 to 23 hours, so one meal a day.

I didn't realise I will check it out

Do you plan on doing that every day? Or just a couple of times a week?

It's: fasting / 5:2 diet

Yes I do this every day. I've done extended fasts too, even up to 7 days before.
