I've switched my fasting routine again.

This time it seems to be sticking.

What's working best for me is a daily 16 hour fast with an 8 hour eating window. And 2 meals a day seems to satisfy me.

The eating window that seems to work best for me is 10:30am to 6:30pm. My breakfasts have included lots of protein and fat, for example, hard boiled eggs with nuts. The protein/fat combo prevents hunger until the late afternoon. Eating 2 meals a day has been pretty painless. I'm still having a daily glass of wine before dinner too.

I think I'll stick with this daily type of IF for awhile..

Intermittent fasting

I've been doing some form of fasting for a couple years. Usually it's one or two fasts per week. I'll eat dinner, then skip breakfast & lunch the next day. My goal is to resume eating again at dinner, sometimes I only make it until 4 or 5pm.

I like not thinking about what I'm going to eat for almost 24 hours. My husband would rather cut off his arm than fast but for me, it works.

Fasting has become easier now that I've gone wheat and grain free. Any hunger pains or cravings that occur seem much more manageable. When I was a wheat eater, I had broken many fasts 5 or 6 hours early because of the need to chew (usually a bagel or muffin). Today I finished a fast that began yesterday at 6pm and ended at 4pm without a problem.

Most weeks I'll designate Tuesdays and Thursdays as my fasting days.
