[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must have loose skin on your stomach, there's no way that's fat.
I don't think IF will help you from storing fat in any particular area.
I have been doing 18 hour fasts since Thanksgiving and lost 9 lbs (started at normal BMI) but have not lost even half an inch where I wanted to. My face looks more angular and my chest looks a little bony but my thighs are the exact same size.[/quote]Thank you for the feedback. It's helpful to hear what IF actually does. The more I read about lower belly fat it seems to be related to cortisol. The recommendations I'm seeing are to get more sleep and lower stress, but how does someone do that with young kids?

The question is actually how do YOU do it with young kids. What do YOU need to get more sleep? What do YOU need to destress? When I had young kids I didn't have stress - that's just me - but I had definite sleep interruptions with breastfeeding and getting kids up to use the bathroom, etc.

Do you need a nap in the afternoon, or time to go exercise? Do you need help cooking dinner? Figure out what will destress you - and then figure out how you can make that happen. Does your DH need to do more? Do you need to hire help? Getting more sleep is also a huge deal, but again, you have to figure this out - can you go to bed earlier? can you get up later? Can your DH and you split the evening/morning routines better so one of you can go to bed early and get up early, and vice versa.[/quote]
