[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm doing the 16:8 version of this (for the past two weeks) and I like it a lot so far.  I restrict my eating from about noon to about 8pm.  (So far there's been one day on the weekends when it doesn't quite work out and I'm not beating myself up over that.)

I have been a devoted breakfast eater my whole life so I thought giving up breakfast would kill me, but it's been surprisingly easy.  And since my breakfast of choice is cereal, it's been a real benefit to eliminate all those carbs from my diet.  And since I've never been one for snacking in the evenings anyway, I'm not making up all those calories later, so it's been easier to keep to around 1400 a day.

Again, I'm surprised that "running on empty" in the mornings hasn't been miserable.  It really hasn't.  I like the way I feel, and I like the fact that not eating breakfast actually seems to reduce my appetite overall.  Once I hit my target weight I will loosen up a bit in terms of total calories per day, but I play to stick to 16:8.[/quote]

I'm confused. Are you only eating between 12 and 8PM? You're not eating breakfast and you're not snacking after 8 when you can eat. Which 8 hours did you choose to actually eat?

1.Daily Intermittent Fasting: a 16/8, as it is informally known, where you condense your eating into a period of eight hours each day. This is my preferred method, personally speaking, and often translates to one meal around noonish and another six or seven hours later. I don’t eat outside the window (normally!), and I pass the morning hours with delicious, appetite-suppressing caffeine. [/quote]
