[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m so depressed. I’ve been doing 14/10 IF for three weeks now. I finally unpacked our scale after it being in storage and not weighing myself for probably eight months, and was pretty excited because my body has been changing. Well, I’m 6 pounds over my heaviest weight!

Ok, so I’m obviously eating too much, and I knew going in that IF wasn’t a cure for that. The thing is I’m constantly hungry. I skip breakfast, have a salad for lunch with only lemon for dressing, and a normal but small dinner. I stop eating just after, so between 5:30 and 7 depending on work and school schedules. IF has taught me that hunger is ok, but if I’m constantly hungry and gaining weight, I don’t see the point!

I tried adding exercise, and that's when the hunger turned from an interesting observation to all-out nausea. I am hugely obese, so this is devastating to me. What else can I do? [/quote]

14/10 is not really an IF protocol, IME.  The shortest time I’ve ever seen is 16 and I think 18 is the sweet spot.  I found going low carb when I couldn’t make it through a fasting period helped transition to it.  Nuts worked wonders.  You might try that for a few weeks—fast to 16 hours when you can and eat reasonably caloric but low carb when you can’t, as you work up to it. [/quote]
