[quote=Anonymous]I think that your plan to lose slowly is great, and easier (hopefully more sustainable) than stricter rules and deeper calorie cuts.

For me- I’m not tracking calories, thanks. I’d rather restrict my eating hours, eat sensibly within those hours, and not have to calculate the calories in everything I eat.

I started an IF plan without allowing myself coffee before noon, when I break the fast. That wasn’t ideal, so I researched and found that generally IF experts allow for up to 50 calories outside the window. I have one cup of coffee with stevia and 1 tbsp of 2% milk, which tops out at around 10 calories. I’m a latte lover, so it’s an adjustment, but it gets me over the hump.

Regarding weekends and special occasions- I don’t go completely off the plan, but I don’t want it to dictate my life every single day. I stick to it as much as I can on the weekends, but I drop it for family and special meals outside the window on weekends. If you love a glass of wine with a weekly tv show, don’t give it up!

I have been slowly, steadily, and easily losing weight following these guidelines over the past couple of months. When I hit my goal I plan to use IF with a larger eating window to maintain. I’m adhering to a 6 hour window now.[/quote]
