Intermittent Fasting (IF) is way of eating that restricts when you eat, usually on a daily or weekly schedule. People engage in IF to reap the many benefits to health, fitness, and mental clarity. This is a place to share success, support each other, ask questions, and learn. IF is an 18+ community because the practice is not medically recommended to/for children.

Looking to start IF again (lemm.ee)

Last summer, I was doing 18/6 and had some great results, but I fell off the wagon. For the past few weeks, I've been doing 16/8 and doing well.. just trying to cut down on snacking. I have a serious issue with overeating, and IF seems to be the only thing that helps. Any IF fans on Lemmy?

I'm sure it's not the best thing in the world, but a caffeine pill in the morning and a ton of water makes the fast pretty darn easy.

That is exactly how I get through my fasts. When hunger hits, a couple big swallows of very cold water seems to mitigate the hunger relatively quickly. I also look forward to the little rush I feel when I get to the other side of a hunger moment.
