I wish I would've found this thread two months ago. I'm doing low carb with occasional IF. I'm doing the 16:8 when I do it, but I didn't find I lost any more than I did when I ate a small breakfast. I'm down 20lbs since 2/12 but find myself at a stall. I work out 3/4 times a week, after work. Any suggestions or advice before I go check any of these links out? TIA!
I've been doing IF for about 3 months now and have lost about 22 lbs. I wouldn't directly contribute IF to weight loss.
IF is not some magical weight loss program. Sure it can assist, but what makes IF work for me is that it helps control my intake of calories. Doesn't matter what diet you are on and what you eat. The main drive for weight loss is calories consumed and calories burned.
I don't like meal prepping, it just doesn't work for me. I eat 2 meals a day with a snack in between. I follow a 18:6 IF period 12pm-6PM. I work out and get my cardio in at 4:30 am.
My advice would be to start counting calories if you don't already do this. This was a huge eye opener for me. Write everything down that you eat, you will be amazed at how much it adds up. Stick with it, it is a slow process but if you are consistent, you will see results.

how many calories should someone trying to lose weight consume if they are 5'7ish, 190?
Gonna start running 3x's a week with the couch to 5k app again.
Also, for those that IF and work out in the mornings.....do you do any BCAA's or protein powders before or after? I plan to run/lift at 4:30-5:00a.m. hours, but I find i have better results when i add protein shakes to my workouts(shakes = powder + water)

I'm doing a 23 hour fast right now and walking four miles in the morning starting at 4:30. I will walk 2 more miles on my lunch and an additional two after work, then eat. I don't get to get that last walk in everyday however. Typically I'm just trying to get at least 6 miles in, that will net me close to 1000 calories burned at my current weight. I'm slowly trying to reintroduce my body back to Keto as well. Hopefully my Dr. gives me my adderall script tomorrow, that will help me out tremendously.
