Yes I still do it loosely. I don't really think about it because its become a way of life at this point. It's basically just skipping breakfast. It only really works for me when I also limit carbs. I don't completely eliminate them. But doing the IF + moderate carbs helps reduce my cravings and appetite overall.

Intermittently

I know two people who were losing consistently using IF. Both of them recently switched to taking ozempic instead. Not combining the two, they just stopped IF and started ozempic.

Yes I am currently doing IF. Usually an 8 hour eating window, around 12-8. In my case it just means no late night snacking and no breakfast/mindless snacking in the morning while working from home. Helps me to be more intentional.

It helped me a lot when I did it (during covid). But then life got in the way and I have trouble with the schedule. (Need to eat before some active stuff at work; kids come home late so tend to eat dinner late.)

Abut twenty years ago I learned that I felt best when I stopped eating after 6 or 7 (depending on when I went to bed) and didn't eat until 10 or so. I got less heartburn, felt less tired, etc. Then people started calling it intermittent fasting. So I guess I'm "still doing it" but I don't think there's anything magical about it. And I wouldn't even call it a fast; I don't think much changes when you're only abstaining from food for 16 hours.

I did it pre-Covid when I had a routine and wasn't home much. Being home full time killed my ability to fast, but now I eat more earlier in the day and less at night and my weight is slowly dropping.

Yes I do according my cycle.

My BIL fasts regularly for several days at a time, and did it before IF was popular. He says it keeps his weight in check and makes him feel better. He still does it. For him it's a lifelong habit.

I’m doing it! It’s helped me drop three pounds in a week and a half (I still have a bunch of postpartum weight to lose). I’m practicing in accordance with Mindy Pelz’ “Fast Like a Girl.” To the PP with messed up sodium and potassium levels, electrolyte supplements are your friend! I have little packets that I mix in with my water.

Adhering to the fasting window has helped me eliminate my evening snacking, which I didn’t realize I was doing so much! Plan to do a 36 hour fast next week.

It also aligns with my Christian faith, which demands its followers fast.

It works for me in terms of weight loss, but my blood pressure medicine means that it plays havoc with my sodium and potassium levels, so I stopped. Social media is so trend driven, that I bet even if they've moved on there are still people doing it.

I've been doing it for about 3 years now. For me, it's easy to skip breakfast, just have coffee and then start eating at lunchtime. Usually that means I do a 14-16 hour fast depending on when I had an evening snack. I do also lift weights, do yoga, pilates 4-5 days per week in the morning before coffee. It helps me to maintain my weight, size 4.
Some people cannot handle the skipped breakfast, and do better with eating their last meal at 6 pm, so you do need to figure out what works for you hunger-wise.

No, because I'm a fat slob who loves food. But it does work for me.

I tried it and still do it occasionally but I find it just triggers my food disorders.

IF was the rage a few years ago but I don’t hear people talking about it much anymore. I do hear a lot about lifting weights and eating a protein-heavy breakfast as part of the diet. Is it just my social media feed or has the tide shifted?
