[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 889307, member: 41816"] Hi, I have been doing a variation of the 16/8 for the last week or so. I've been eating very low carb for 18 months now, and find that my hormone situation and 'hunger phobia' (I ought to TradeMark that term) means that nil-by-mouth for any length of time just means I go into a feeding frenzy. So I have added coffee with cream at breakfast time, to make it effectively as 16 hr fast with added fat, and approx 8 hours when I have lunch and dinner. It has been totally effortless (except for the 2 days I have messed up because of weekend life. but that is OK, from now on, weekends are going to be treated differently, because of the logistical chaos that happens Sat-Sun! :) ). I've known for years that my body loves running on fat. And really, it seems far more comfortable for the 16 hours, than it does for the 8 hours of limited blood glucose fluctuation. If only I could just live on butter, eh? ;) Will keep you informed. (By the way, my goal is [I][B]very slow weight loss[/B][/I]. I am not a fan of fast weight loss, since it has always resulted for me in rapid weight rebound regain) [/QUOTE]
