Research shows that fasting can help with weight loss and metabolic health.

Hi everyone, this is very promising but you guys know how much you benefit from IF. So this research by the Illinois University of Chicago recent research shows the advantages of IF and should encourage you and anyone new to fasting,

It’s interesting that alternate day fasting resulted in weight loss of between 3% and 8% in 3 to 8 weeks with the results peaking after 12 weeks so for those new to fasting and want encouragement here’s the article, please see:

sciencedaily.com/releases/2...

It would be interesting if any if our regulars to IF say how you’ve benefited from fasting as this would help encourage those that want to start the same journey as you so let’s encourage each other to reach their goals and become part of the Fasting & Furious community.

Hi Jerry,

I have just read your post...and, as there aren't any replies (as yet) I thought that I would send a brief reply.

There are so many benefits to be gained from IF; for me, some of these are the following (no particular order):

I feel energized, both physically and mentally.

I feel slimmer - and, weight gain is diminished.

I have improved mental clarity.

Motivation is increased.

My tummy is flat (flatter)

Hunger is non-existent (especially so, when paired with low carb eating)

Exercise is incredible (for me personally) when I work-out, in a fully fasted state.

In essence...IF is amazing!

Take care.

Shield 👋

Hi,

I have been on fixed time eating plan and dinner before 7 PM and breakfast after 9 AM. This gave me 14 hours of no eating window, once in a while it can be difficult to have dinner before 7 PM>

I have manged to keep away from type 2 medication and have also lost weight, new cloths this month as old cloths are not fitting properly.

I have watched many video clips produced by many doctors and also in Tamil language.

Because I had COVID-19 in October, I have few health problems and slowly recovering from them.

Not what you're looking for?
