What's the longest you've fasted? I did a ten day fast once.
Need something to wash those cookies and cake down and eat cereal with though.
What do you drink during your fast?
Fasting is just one component losing weight and staying in shape. The other components are staying hydrated and exercising. You have to switch up your routine with the fasting and your exercise. It also comes down to your genetics.
The first thing you have to do is figure out what your goals are for fasting, and what results you are looking for, and in what time frame.
You plan to fast (intermittent fasting) by cutting out or cutting down on certain things like sugars, salt, snacking, etc... This will help you to not feel hungry, and breaking your fast. You have to eliminate things that are inflammatories to your body (which can include dairy products). Take it slow and adjust your food portion.
Begin with a simple 16/8. Which is fasting for 16 hours and eating within 8 hours. The great thing about this is most of the fast is done while you are at rest.
So if you stop eating at 7pm, then you won't eat again until 11am the next day and stop eating at 7pm the same day.
When your body adjust to that, then increase your fasting hour.

I sprinkle cinnamon in oatmeal every morning, and take supplements. I drink Apple Cider vinegar drinks ( maybe 4 ounces a day) and take supplements.
There is a town in Greece of old ass people that eat yogurt daily
dont forget three meals a day
and muthafuckas wonder why we have an
obesity epidemic..proper
fasting is the key..
Is that bc they don't want you doing it bc it works
Humans are mammals.
I've done 3 days max.
After 72 hours, you begin to experience diminishing returns as autophagy begins to wear off and muscle cannibalization begins to occur.
I would approach 10 days like this:
1-3 days - Water and tea (nothing else)
4-7-days - Juicing fruit/veggies (nothing else)
7-10 days - Eating fruits and veggies uncooked
All of these.
Im big supporter of fasting
Intermittent fasting is my lifestyle. 20-4 most days with one meal a day on weekends when i eat cheat meals. I do a 36 hour fast weekly from Sunday at 7pm until Tuesdays at 7am. Monday afternoons i hit the gym to hit my squats and deadlifts at the peak of my fast and feel strong as fuck.
Intermittent fasting with healthy eating and cheat meals in moderation along with an exercise program will yield good results.
Plus i have bloodwork to back it up, last A1c was 4.9, my fasting glucose hovers from 80 to 90. I discussed with my dr about fasting and she told me to keep it up.
The biggest thing is doing whatever works for you and finding something that is a lifestyle.
During plateaus its good to take a week off and eat more carbs and do light walking. When you get back to normal your body will react which helps beat plateaus
I may have to try it
That old nigga puts ensure in his cheerios.
Beating the plateau is about tricking your hormones. Knowing how to reup your leptin levels.
Batman’s a scientist.
Uh being warm blooded does not make you lactose tolerant.
If you an aboriginal american aka so called african american,
there is a ninety nine point nine percent chance you should
NOT be fucking with dairy, the crazy shit is the health industry
KNEW this shit for almost a century an still pushed diary products on us,
even giving us FREE cheese, and you KNOW them zionist in new york,
dont give away FREE NOTHING without an agenda!
Yeah it definitely works, I've been doing IF for almost three years now, I've slipped up a few times with late night snacking but always got back on track. I just recently lost 15 pounds in the last six weeks doing 18/6, I'll do a protein smoothie at 2pm and a meal at 8pm. The protein smoothie would be either scoop of chocolate protein powder with half a banana and scoop of peanut butter or vanilla protein powder with mixed berries and spinach/kale mix. For dinner I'd get different Healthy Choice meals and add a 3 pepper and onion blend to it with cheese along with grapes and something like vanilla wafers or pop tart for something sweet. I know IF works because I workout like 4 times a week and know for a fact no matter how much you workout if you're eating bad your body will show it
^^^Nothing else needs to said about losing weight. Nothing.
Intermittent fasting is a proven way to meet that calorie deficit, it's easier to do a eating window than trying to eat 3 meals during the day trying to figure out what foods to eat and portions so you can keep your caloric intake low
Nature, what animal can just eat when hungry without effort?
I'm thinking about 730am to 130pm eating window because it's difficult for me to skip breakfast
Naw, it is not proven to make you lose weight any faster than eating regular on a deficit. At the end of the day there is no one way to lose weight, you use the method most comfortable and stay at a caloric deficit.
That's too short
730 to 5pm works
They gave obese patients (people with fucked up metabolisms and all sorts of hormonal issues) standard high carb diets, with a total caloric restriction as the only limit Intermittent fasting won't do shit if your still eating high carbs. All those carbs, even calorically restrictive are still causing insulin spikes. Also using self reported food logs, is not really valid. Fat people telling the truth about what they ate, 
It's a good study on actual humans, over a period of time, so props for that. Most of this work is on mice. Now take both groups, and cut the carbs, control their actual daily food intake, and THEN intermittent fast. I bet the results would drastically favor the fasting group.
Humans are not supposed to be eating all damn day, 4 snacks and shit. Especially since most of what we eat is carbs.

I don't think anyone that has done Intermittent fasting is saying it's the #1 way of losing the weight it's the article that's trying to say that instead of saying it's one of the best ways to lose weight
Humans produce their own milk. Which is not the same as cow's milk. And baby humans consume their mother's milk, not 45 year old men. If you're not sucking on your Mom's titty at 45 then why are you sucking on a cow's titty, essentially? Milk period, is for babies. Titties dry up eventually and by that time babies are on solid food, be it humans or other mammals.
There are other benefits to fasting besides weight loss. For instance, fasting helps repair the skin.
Baby humans are humans.
I can’t see the article because it is behind a paywall but I lost a lot of weight and have a lot more energy when Intermittent Fasting. Without noticeably changing the quality or quantity of food intake.
