5 Tips For Losing Weight With a 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Window 

If you don’t mind me asking do you workout too? An if so what to you do?.

I do that. I'm not losing a pound even in one week. I'm so depressed because of of that. I don't eat after 8pm. Then I don't eat until at least noon. Then I have eggs and bacon for my first meal. That's no carbs. Then meat and a veg for dinner about 5-6:00.

You said it-consistency. I need to be honest with myself!

@@verapilecki8102 I hear you!! I have lost some fat but am actually gaining!!? 😢

I have done a 20 hr fast, but that was totally unplanned, I can do a 16:8 a lot easier and with less intense feelings of hunger! Thank you for this! I’m trying to get rid of the last stubborn 20 lbs!

You can do it. I’ve been at it for a month lost 9 pounds. The hardest time of the day is the evenings. Keep it up you will be so happy with yourself.

Great dedication, u have lost a huge number

Sooo it wasn't the fasting? It was you cutting out sugar and working out? I want to know if this works eating what and how much you normally eat!!

@@Trendle222 It's all intertwined. No carbs no sugar is a huge benefit it does enable a carb deficit. Exercise as in my swimming burns about 500 claories, so even in a week its only 500 x 7 = 3500 calories which equates to 1 pound. But exercise also promotes autophagy which is a whole other issue. Cut carbs to the lowest possible and you will lose weight. I am still dropping 1-2 pounds per week. Now down to 208 as of today Fasting is difficult if you consume too many carbs as when you eat carbs your hunger never feels under control.

Good luck Lindsay, I hope it works out for you. 🙏

How’s it going

Same ❤

Do you fast aswell

@@misan99 I don’t fast, but 2 years ago I fast and keto and I lose 20 Lbs in a month, Exactly today I am going to do fast, 4-12 window eating and the next 16 hours free of food, hugs from Utah

When is you eating window in a day?

@@Asuzhdaem I usually eat between 10-11 in the morning. That way I have a lot of fasting time for the rest of the day.

I like your schedule, how's it going

@@diana_prince_1 it’s going great… on my channel is a link to my food life. Thanks 😊

Newsflash: It's not the fasting in and of itself that causes the weight loss. It's the reduction of calories that you skipped while fasting. Yes fasting is good for your GI system but if you fast for 16 hours then gobble up 3000 calories in your eating window, you will not lose weight but continue to gain or stay the same depending on your size. It sucks but the only way to lose weight is to reduce calories. Believe me, I've tried every other possible "loop hole" to let me eat what I want and lose weight, Atkins, Keto, Intermittent Fasting, you name it. Nothing works except reduction of intake and it is nearly impossible to maintain long term without lots of exercise and/or a good appetite suppressor which the evil system that wants us all fat and diabetic has made impossible to get unless you are an already skinny school child (ADHD). I remember the good old days (2004 and prior) when I could walk into CVS, Walgreens or Walmart and pick up a bottle of Metabolife 356 (Chinese herbal ephedra) that worked BETTER than Adderal. Smoother, longer lasting and no awful crash when it fizzled out. All day energy, euphoria and zero appetite. I kept my weight off for years using these whenever I would gain 10-15 lbs. Took them for just 2 to 4 weeks and got the weight right back off. They don't want us to be fit and healthy. We are Cash Cows for Big Pharma and the same evil psychopaths who own Big Pharma also own the food corporations and fill our food with toxic franken chemicals and gmos that make us hungry and fat all the time. They don't even use real sugar anymore but chemical crack called "High Fructose Corn Syrup" which causes diabetes. Contrary to their LIES it is NOT THE SAME AS CANE SUGAR!! And they know it. People who go to other countries for vacations, such as France, say they eat rich pastries, pasta and all kind of DELICIOUS food and LOSE WEIGHT. When they come back to USA they gain it all back in 2 weeks eating less. Because they are fattening us up on purpose. Look at rock concert videos from the early 80s and on back...look at the crowd...NOBODY WAS FAT. NOBODY. I was there and I ate the same amount then that I eat now and I was skinny...5'8" 135lbs. It's the additives these evil psychos are putting in our food!

Couldn't agree more Reese!!

I agree, for me I cannot go longer than that.

@@reesedaniel5835You are right on. It’s sick!

lol when started I hated it but I'm so getting use it drinking it without sugar now

Good luck, I've lost 6kgs over a 7 week period and Im really enjoying it

Hey stranger! I wish you good luck on your journey, and hope you reach your goal! 😊

Best of luck. U can do it

Pay attention to 2:45 You cannot fill th eating window. Just eat one or two nortmal meals in the window. All high sugar/starch (high glycemic) foods will sabotage your fasting window. Sart and end with a high protein/fat food ie: Yogurt (unsweetened), fermented sourkraut, cheese.

This is what works well for me too! Although I don’t mind black coffee.

I think that’s what I’m going to adjust my time to as well. I was doing 12-8 and I’m really missing morning coffee. I won’t do black either. Plus i want to try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before bed time so this time window just makes since.

i had my 2nd black coffee today and it tasted better than yesterday!

Try to do a normal 18/6… or 16/8. Your body just needs a change…. And probably more nutrition.

Wow, awesome.

For how many months did you loose that weight

@@WATIT-kr2vs 5 months

Fantastic... keep going on your health journey, you are worth it 😄

What do you eat

@@cathymccormick474 i eat both carbs and proteins but the proteins should be more than the carbs in one meal for faster results. I eat bread, sardines, chicken, beans, soya beans tofu, Eggs, cereals and milk, yoghurt, sometimes little rice, sometimes little pasta...etc.. Just make sure that your carb is lower than your proteins in a meal or eat lots of protein for faster results.

that's so weird cause whether you're insulin resistant or not this should work cause it boosts up your metabolism

All the Water you like and I usually do Black Coffee with Stevia before Noon.

@@wiznetteit’s very important to drink all the time during your fast

IM A TYOE 2 DIABETIC. IU TAKE INSULIN. UIM SO HUNGRY I CANT FSST FIR MIRE THAN 6 HOURS, I GRT SHAKY SWEATY WEAK IF I DONT EAT.

But minus 500 calories? No. No way. My BMR is 1440 calories. Minus 500 means I’d eat 940 calories. So bad for your health and you’ll lose muscle. Plus binging is likely to happen.

@@Mexicobeanpole Really? A BMR is your basal metabolic rate, plus your activity level, and then minus 500 for week loss or plus 500 for weight gain. So your internet BMR calculator at 1440 must have calculated at the front end for your desired weight loss.

I agree. I can’t sleep if I’m too hungry.

I suggest lowering the time the higher amount of time fasting isn’t good for you i suggest the 16:8 fast over the 20:4

@@RealEclipsed.I fast for 20 and I find if I have a couple of days off and eat maybe twice a day, say at the weekend, then go back to 20 on Monday it kicks starts weight loss again

no soda or suger sweets just fruit and peanut butter chicken soy and beef

One of the best ways to keep blood sugar from spiking is to walk after eating. I have found this to be an amazing solution. A1C went from 7 down to 5.6 in three months with IF and low carb eating.

@@suewinter3693 I have tried walking after eating as well and it doesn’t even move my blood sugar ! I IF daily and have tried all the tips and tricks to no avail ! So frustrating 🤬🤬🤬

@Carol Bridge I suspect you may not be drinking enough water. I am so guilty of this. Go back to the 16/8 but make sure you drink plenty of water. Good luck.

@@lisadixon5915 you could very well be correct ! I’m a nurse and we are often dehydrated so I’m going to focus on drinking more ! 😎

@@suewinter3693 I did and recently my blglucose went down to 75 -78 steadily early test fasted in the morning. It used to be constantly over 110 even with fasting. Also sleep early impact strongly on blood glucose.

Sounds like gastritis. I had that from gallbladder removal. I would sip on chamomile tea or ginger root tea. It heals the lining of the stomach. If reflux is your cause you can do a pinch of baking soda in a 8 oz glass of water. Slowly sip until pain goes away.

sounds like acid reflux. I had this when I first started fasting. I don't get it anymore.

Hey Brenda, absolutely push that window if you can or if it feels natural! There is nothing "magical" about the 8-hour window, so if you're reducing it to 12-7 and that works for you, go for it!

Yes I would add lemon inside my water or viniger sometimes

Any 8-hour window that fits your schedule and lifestyle is viable. And you can still have breakfast on a 16:8 plan (I do). Many people doing this skip breakfast and only eat one or two meals, but that's not required.

Usually it's the last bite by 8pm. So you can start your timer.
