Bingo Denise! I have been intermittant fasting on and off but even if not 16/8 I do maybe a 15/9, or similar split. Clears the mind, keeps me super lean and also helps me stay mindful, in the moment, more regularly throughout the day.

In reply to Elizabeth Herbert Cottrell. Thanks for stopping by, Elizabeth. I agree, the fasting has been so easy and I don't feel like I'm missing anything or being deprived.

Thanks for sharing your story about this, Denise. I have recently joined this group and am also finding it very informative, interesting, inspiring, and supportive.

I’ve tried so many “diets” and the 16/8 intermittent fasting option means I may eat healthy foods between about noon and 8pm and then consume only tea, water, and coffee until noon the next day. I’ve been amazed that I haven’t been hungry and that it is so much easier than most dieting plans. This is for two reasons: 1) I can eat relatively normally during my eating window and can serve my husband and me the same food and 2) if I am out with friends at lunch or supper, it is within my eating window and I don’t have to make excuses — just make healthy choices.

For me, it fits my lifestyle and I’m already feeling better.
