I would like to start LCHF.I'm going to go for breakfast, no lunch(Intermittent fast?) and an early dinner. so that would mean going from breakfast 9:00 in the morning to say, 17:00 in the afternoon Can I have unlimited coffee and cream during the day ? Or is that not IF at all. I'm a bit of a snacky eater.

You can have coffee ad cream. After a while you may find it filling you up though, plus, it probably makes sense to be mindful of the caffeine content, if you're having a lot.

Good luck with the new way of eating. I've been eating reduced carb for almost 7 years.

Thanks, I hope it works.

Thanks, I hope it works.

One thing I would say is your way of eating is just that; your way.

Finding something that works for you and is sustainable is so much more important than eating a diet that fits all the markers and proportions that seem right, but you just can't sustain it for whatever reason.

Fingers crossed for you.
