Thank you, Malayappan. I was already doing a form of intermittent fasting. Now I understand why. I generally have coffee with coconut oil at around 8.30 am. but nothing else until about 10.00 am. Does that, or even plain coffee, break the fast?

Yes

[M1tz1 in reply to jeeves19]

That's sad. I'll have to do without! Thank you, Jeeves. 🙂

[jeeves19 in reply to M1tz1]

Coffee on own ok but not milk or coconut oil to be precise.

[M1tz1 in reply to jeeves19]

That's a relief. I use the coconut oil as part of the keto injunction to load good fats. That can come later in the day. The coffee helps me to start the day. Thank you again. 🙂

You might want to consider unrefined red palm oil as a source of good fats:

That article on the whole misses the main point of IF which is to increase the time our bodies have to repair itself through autophagy, which it's less able to if its constantly digesting from people eating 20 hours out of the day. If they lose weight its because no snacking after dinner or in the middle of the night.14 They can certainly do variations like incorporating Keto or Paleo diets, or shorten the window. The key is to do what works for you and helps your body. My dr approved a certain limit to it, I'm doing very well on a Keto, IF combo of 12 to 14 hour fast each night. No snacking, healthy eating the rest of the time.

The article doesn't represent my option. I just saw it and wanted to put the information out their. Often things that can be helpful need to be cautioned from the extreme.
