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...

How hard is it to go without eating that long? How long was the break in period? I don't think I could go that long. My problem is my work is stressful and I guess it gives me relief to eat something stupid, or an excuse to leave the department for a couple of minutes. And my shifts go back and forth, days, nights, 24s, without any pattern. So today I had breakfast after I got off a shift, and I'm going to go sleep right now, then wake up and eat something shitty on my way to work, then I'll be starving by midnight.

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.

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.

The 12-15 window is the time between keto snack 0 carb snack. In reality its one meal in 24h

I fast a minimum of 17, usually 24. Combined with keto, it's crazy how much energy I end up with.

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.

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

I ate more calories and lost, because time restricted eating/fasting takes advantage of how the body operates. My metabolism ramped compared to eating multiple times a day calorie restriction that wrecked my metabolism.

just the result from putting in 18/6 in youtube from this guy

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.

I read his post and thought wow that sucks for him, I had a totally different experience.

Jeeze, Amod , could you move this whole stupid discussion to an appropriate thread?
