[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those of you doing IF 16/8, if you sort of push the timing like say 12:15pm to 8:15pm does it matter or as long as you're getting your 8 hours in and 16hrs fast, that's what matters? Also, if you happen to eat until 9 one night because you went out, do you just fast until 1pm the next day and then get back onto schedule or how do you adjust for late or earlier nights depending on the situation? I'm still new to IF as in about a month in but I love it! [/quote]

Sometimes I will lengthen/shorten eating window and fast times like you describe. So if I know I'm going out with friends I will wait until 2/3 to eat for example. And sometimes if I ate late I will extend the fast the next day. Most of the time I just start up the next day as usual. An occasional off day isn't going to do much to set you back. I try to only miss one good fast though. So the fasting period is more important than the eating window IMO. So I will not take a cheat 'day' where I would shorten two fasts (ie, eat breakfast and eat late) I tend to cheat one fast so if I go out late I might eat breakfast that morning after, since that fast is already kind of screwy (and hey I might be hungover haha) but then I would stop eating at whatever normal time that next night.

As for coffee, I have it every morning with a splash of 2%. I do IF because of an insulin resistance issue (PCOS) and have never been able to lose weight IN MY LIFE. I am 37. And I have lost almost 50 pounds in 2 years doing this. Maybe I'm a little slower because of the coffee but I have still gotten amazing results and I do not do this just for caloric restriction so I disagree that the coffee in the morning ruins the whole effort on the insulin spiking issue.
