Can ur eating windows be alternated every day or you have to be consistent with a pattern??
Like Mon-Thurs I can do a 6 hr window 12-6pm. But I'll like to extend to maybe 2-10pm on wknds
Also does it matter how big or small ur eating window is?? I'm currently on 6 hrs

Can get into ketosis faster when IF also if he lowers the carbs/sugar plus exercise in a fasted state.
60 over how long?
How did IF end up working for you?
Anything else to that, like morning vs night or full stomach vs empty?
Fell off during COVID, now I'm back on.

Is it okay to pour the teaspoons in water? Can’t stand the taste of apple vinegar.

I cut it with water and a teaspoon of black seed oil.
Doesn't make it taste better but at least it doesn't burn as harsh.
Nice, keep up the good work!
What do you do when fighting hunger during fasting times? I try drinking water but it doesn’t curb my appetite. Sometimes I feel weak with low energy. Help a brother out.
Being busy is the best way next to water.

Yep, cant go wrong with compound lifts and sprints. The most efficient way to burn fat plus gain strength.
Drink water with Himalayan salt.
Will help curb hunger.
If you're busy and not thinking about food or your next meal, you may not realize you have to eat after a certain point.
Use apps like Zero or Life to help you and encourage you to go on. Reddit stories like the ones I posted helps as well.
I'd also say don't rush into long fasting hours.
Generally start with 16:8 then after your comfortable, staying under calories, move to 18:6 then so on to 20:4 and 22:2 then as I do 23:1 or even an occasional 48 or 72 hrs fast.
Just gradually grow your fasting window. Most importantly watch your calories and sugary foods/juices. They will make you hungry as well.
Also you have to utilize the 6 - 8 hours you are sleeping in your fast regimen. It helps to fight the hunger
I drink ACV in the morning (empty stomach) and before my last meal. 1 tsp acv with water.
In the last 12 months i lost 35-40 pounds (with Keto/IF).
Intermittent fasting isn't a miracle solution to perfect health and weight loss. But it does help if you do it right.
BTW I turned to a plant based diet a month ago. Right now i'm eating a high carb low fat diet instead of a low carb high fat diet. I work out 4 times a week, so i need the carbs. Keto really helps, but it's good for short term weight loss. It isn't sustainable long term imo.
Now i'm only eating complex carbs like quinoa, sweet potatoes, fruits. brown rice, legumes, oats etc etc. Basically all healthy foods you can't eat on keto.
Lol I went from <50gr carbs a day to 200gr carbs a day. But i'm feeling much more satiated right now. And i'm eating much more healthier.
Only need to lose 10 pounds... Let's go....

A day after you eat again will see the weight drop.
