[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just starting IF (4 weeks) and have had good success.  Just not sure about sustainability.  If you have been doing IF for a while, what did long-term maintenance look like? I do 18-6.[/quote]

18-6 is a long fast for me on a regular basis .  For me sustainable “maintenance” ie - no weight gain, (maybe a lb per month loss) is averaging 14-10.  Some days a little longer fast, some days with social commitments, shorter fast.    That also keeps the blood sugars low which is the main reason I do this as do many members of my family.  Without fasting, I’m diabetic.

For me to lose, I have to combine fasting with some  other things and/or a few longer fasts sprinkled in.  Its slow and steady which is about 2-3 lbs a month.    I often have a month where I press harder, then I go back to maintenance on 14-10, and then press again later    It’s so much better than gaining so it works.

In any scenario, I exercise 6x a week,  because I like how I feel - but doesn’t help on weight loss [/quote]
