[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good question PP.

One question I also have for IF devotees -- is there still a benefit if I were to do it half the time? Like every other day skip breakfast and have at least a 16 hour fast? I'm just not seeing how I make it work with mid-morning sports/activities that I engage in some days.[/quote]

FWIW, I find that I'm hungrier if I go back and forth between IF and normal eating (12:12 or less). When I don't do IF, I find myself more hungry throughout the day, and it takes me a few days back on IF before the hunger goes away and it feels natural again. I've found a balance where on weekends I can still do a 14 hour fast like 10pm - 12pm if I'm out late and have a snack, or 8pm - 10am if we go out for brunch, and I don't feel like I've fallen off the wagon. It's strange what a difference a few hours can make![/quote]

DP.

IF has become a life change for me. I have permanently eliminated breakfast. On special occasions, I would eat it breakfast. For example, on Sunday mornings when the whole family as bacon and eggs for breakfast. This does not get me off my regiment if it is just for a day.

I realized that when I do IF to lose weight and then get back to eating breakfast more than a couple of days a week, I get really hungry if I try to skip breakfast again.

So 17:9 is just a way of life for me now. Close shop at 8:00pm , lunch anytime after 11:00 am. It's now second nature to me.[/quote]
