I'm doing the same , and it's indeed super easy. I started doing it mid december, and by mid january I was feeling significantly better, both physicaly and moraly (2 small kids, 3 months and 3 years is kinda tiring with all the current bullshit...). Might not be related, but anyway it's so easy that it's worth trying imo... If anything it reduces the shit you eat, because typically, a lot of the snack/suggar we eat is precisely between 7pm and 11am...

I think 15h is the maximum you can do without any foodsource before blood sugar may be negatively affected in a healthy person without any preexisting conditions. Sure you can go longer, but if we are talking about daily fasting as a lifestyle, its usually never over 15h without a meal.
I've been intermittent fasting for 5-6 years. Different gurus recommend different cutoffs. I try to come in around 13h but depending on activity level 12h. Took maybe a solid 2 years for me to adjust mentally. I was a little uncivilized and aggressive toward the 12th 13th hour and sought medicinal intervention to balance my temperament out.
Zyzzyzzy still thinks I'm psychotic, so I guess the medicinal intervention didn't work out as well as I thought.

I have issues with that board, not going to get into it because I’m just finishing up a 18 hour treat and about to roll the fuck out. If you request it later I’ll elaborate if you want.

Is it your position that you lost 120 pounds while eating the same number of calories that you had previously?

How the fuck is 12 hrs a fast? That's just the normal time between dinner and breakfast. You must have been a beast if it took two years to adjust to 12 hrs, lol.

No breakfast or anything like that just one meal a day.
One meal in 24h will def be a problem for most people that's completely normal.
I think the way I worded it and didn't include the fact I only eat once a day might have been missed.

I think the end of Lanx video makes sense, making a break once in a while. I've started doing it a while ago, and noticed the guy had a study backing that up. I've been kinda forcing myself to not fast in the morning a few days in a row once in a while, the study seem to imply that you need to actually stop for even more than that, a whole week every 4/6 weeks.
Lately, when it comes to diet, I've been picturing my ancestor 50k years ago, freezing his balls out in the European's winter. He probably fasted a lot... in winter, probably not at all in the spring / summer. Tradition also agree with that, Christian, Muslims, Jews, Buddhism. It's nice when science, tradition and common sense seem to be pointing in the same direction... fasting is good, but you probably shouldn't do it 100% of the time. Fuck, maybe you don't even need to do it more than a few months per year to get the full benefit.

I believe basically what he did was not eat anything for three days, then on the 4th day he would eat 150% of the calories that he was previously told to eat for just 1 day. So lets say he was told to eat 2000 calories per day.
Day 1: 0 calories
Day 2: 0 calories
Day 3: 0 calories
Day 4: 3000 calories (150%) in one meal (OMAD - one meal a day)
Average daily calories: 750 ...
Per Burnem, this isn't starvation, it's fasting.
Burnem - I'm just picking on you. I've read about IF and did 16/8 for a while before and had no problems with it. I truly am glad you lost that weight and you look great. My lifestyle doesn't work with those much longer fasts, I love exercising, and I look forward to getting on my bike every day and hitting the road, it's literally my favorite activity.

I don’t like that much caffeine, he has plenty and it’s a good strategy if you are starting and depending on what you are trying to do. I prefer to take my cider after my meal, same with my supplements I want any and everything that’s going to spike my insulin to go with my meal. It’s not bad but way to much caffeine for me I’m already jittery as a crack head from all the energy I have from this diet.
