Intermittent fasting made my depression worse. The irony was my friends said how well I looked. I am back to calorie counting and feel much better, however i apparently don't look as well as I did.

I’m glad you have found a way that suits you better 😊 It proves the point that there is no single ‘best’ way to lose weight, we are all different

Good luck in your weight loss journey 😊

Did you transition into IF, or "switch" to it?

You generally do not need to count calories if you IF, but you can count calories and IF - or just gradually reduce the length of your "eating window".

How long did you take to transition?

What IF were you using?

I was counting calories for 3 months then gradually introduced iF. I had a maximum of 700 calories a day for 2 days of the week. It didn't work for my mental health but I did lose 3 stone 5lbs in 5 months.
