intermittent fasting

[bailey]

I am doing this.  This is my seventh day and I've only lost 1 lb. However, I think it's because I haven't been exercising (just started exercise today) and I have thyroid problems. But heck, a pound is a pound, so I'm gonna stick to this. I've also been drinking about 2 liters of water a day. I already lost 14lbs on a popular diet pill but decided to stop because I don't want to risk my health any more plus it was kinda expensive.

^ YES! Progress is progress no matter how small. Besides, experts say a healthy pace is 1 to 2 lbs weight loss per week. However, be sure to watch the stuff that you eat and your portions. Also, include more complex carbs, vegetables, and lean protein in your diet. Avoid sugar like a plague and you're on your way.

Im trying this now. Day 2 tomorrow.

I am currently doing this pero medyo unstable pa.  I am doing the 16 hour fasting and 8 hour eating window. My schedule is fast from 8pm - 12noon; and then eating time of 12noon- 8pm.

Medyo unstable pa ako sa time kasi its hard when you usually eat with family. So what I do, like nung Saturday I had dinner at 8:30 pm, I only ate lunch at 12:30 the following day.  I'm on my 4th day palang. I'm trying to skip dinner narin if kaya.

Hopefylly I will break my plateau already and start losing weight again. I heard din naman when it comes to WEIGHT LOSS, (not fit, endurance and strength ah), losing weight lang talaga.... Good Diet >>> Any exercise.

Im currently doint this for almost 3 weeks and from 58kg im now 55kg. well hirap ako maintain yung oras ng pagkain most of the time 7pm stop na ako kumain then kinabukasan ang kain ko 1pm na sometimes past 1pm pag busy. And sanay na ako so far buhay pa naman ako..hehe ang sarap ng pakiramdam magaan ang feeling siguro kung stop ko yung pag eat ng sweets like chocolates and snacks mas lalaki pa mababawas sa akin. So far im happy no more bilbil on the side..hehe Thank you sa nag share at gumawa ng thread na ito! ;-)

^wow sis, I'm so happy for you. 6 pounds in 3 weeks is really good. congrats!

Mag-one week na ako this week pero ayoko muna magweigh and magsukat ng damit, kasi baka maoverwhelm ako tas I'd go easy on myself. HAHA! What I like though is nacocontrol ko na yung cravings ko after 8pm. Iniiisip ko nalang sa food na crave ko -  "bukas ka nalang".

[missyA]

[pretty_B]

Tama sis wag ka muna mag weigh kasi pag nakita mo na nag lose ka ang tendency pag nag crave ka madali ka mag give in kasi nasa isip mo nabawasan ka naman ng timbang. Sa una akala ko hindi attainable eh first 3 days akala ko mamamatay ako sa gutom..haha pero after that yung stomach mo na mag sasabi when to eat and what to eat. Promise sarap ng pakiramdam pag gising mo sa umaga ang gaan ng feeling, and nabasa ko rin dito na huwag gawin basis ang pag weigh para masabi mo na pumayat ka kasi may water inside our body so nakakadagdag ng weight yun dapat daw ang basis mo if yung mga clothes mo na dating masikip at lumuwag na at nasusuot mo na ibig sabihin pumayat ka na. ;-)

Do any of you get bad breath while on the fasting state?

[zarazan]

^@theown, di ko naman pansin, but I tend to brush my teeth twice during the fasting morning. Tsaka drink lots of water. And also, you can buy sugar free gums just to be safe if you are conscious.

I'm on to my second week now. I have a few days wherein I need to adjust kasi medyo madami events this week.

[oreo08]

I also do this... medyo irritating lang yung ibang tao nagsasabi ng babagal metabolism ko ek ek. Girl, you have no idea what you're talking about ang iniisip ko.

How many days a week do yo ladies fast? Ako kasi 3 or 4 days a week lang. Mahirap kasi pag nag gym ako ng lunch time, medyo kelangan ko ng energy esp pag I'm doing resistance training.

[TysLolakins]

so i've been doing this right all along not knowing that it is a way to manage weight.  during the week at work,  i don't eat until 12noon and for lunch i have some  kind of salad with chicken.  before noon, coffee, tea and water lang.  after lunch, noshing lang then dinner @630 .  then exercise for an hour/ hour  and half  then shower.   so bale my feeding/eating hours are from 12pm-7pm.  does it have to be a minimum of 8 hours eating time and should it be non stop continuous eating for 8 hours?
kindly enlighten moi.  i like this, my body is already used to it,  minor adjustment na lang. thanks.

so far di ko pa experience yan kasi pag nasa fasting phase ako esp sa morning (kasi i eat ng 1pm) i drink water naman ng half glass then pag lumalabas ako meron ako dala breath spray just to be sure lang na if ever magka bad breath.

[insanelypurpleprincess]

Someone at work is doing this and it does seem pretty enticing. Perhaps, I shall go on GM diet again for a week then switch to this method right after.

[ann08]

I did it for 5 days. 15 to16 hours fasting. Unfortunately, na stop kasi nagugutom na ako madalas ng ika 13 hours usually 9am lalo na pag hindi heavy and dinner. :/

bad breath issue? parang may nag tanong sa akin once kung bad breath ba o hindi. Or. nagpaparinig sya sa akin kasi nag IF ako that time. lol

[zarazan]

I'm onto my third week of intermittent fasting. Sadly, mas nahirapan ako ng second week kesa sa first. Siguro kasi I ate tons of chocolates kaya nag kick nanaman ang appetite ko. Tsaka sadly, I really "Eat Whatever You Want" dun sa 8 hours eating window. HAHAHA! But I still stuck with the 16 hour fasting naman.

Hoping for a better week this week.

[jm0514]

i will try this starting tomorrow.. then my diet pill ako.. let's see kung kaya ko makahabol sa dead line ko..   

[zarazan]

Okay lang ba talaga kumain ng kahit ano sa eating window? I found that I lost so much weight on the first week, not sure on my second and third week. Medyo napapadami rin kasi ako ng kain pero within the 8 hour window lang naman.

Or baka kasi Im on my way to being underweight na?

[oreo08]

I don't eat "whatever" I want during the nonfasting window. I eat pero controlled portions and absolutely no junk. I'm just happy I'm eating something lol
