I've been trying it for like a week. It was hard at first but now I never really feel hungry.

Do any of you have a lot of experience with this? Have you had any decent results?

I've only done a full fast (3 weeks straight, nothing but water), but I'll be trying IF this summer I think

that can't be healthy

--

I used to fast for my religion when I was young and naive, idk what intermittent fasting is

You'll get good results but when you start eating normal again you'll be really hungry. At least in my experience.

There are plenty of health benefits to fasting if you do it correctly

You need food. Fasting is good, but only if you eat other days. All it'll do is mess up your body in the long run by having only water.

I can't even make it through the day without eating a piece of cookie, like hell I'm going to fast.

Why would anyone want to fast if not for religious reasons? ..

I've heard of the 18-hour fast/day where you only eat at like 1pm and 8pm. What are you supposed to be primarily eating at those times though? Are you supposed to work out as well?

Healthy food.

I think yes, or else you'll lose muscle mass. Which would happen if you don't workout anyway.

To lower body fat %. I want abs.

I do it regularly to lose weight. It works great.

I did it last summer but gave it up in like a week. It's hard plus I'm a lazy ****.

It's really not healthy. Just eat in moderation.

Unless you already have some kind of disease it can't do more harm than 'eating in moderation' and fasting has some potentital benefits, there is research made on this.

I can't really do the '5x1' type of IF but sometimes i try to go for more than 15 hours without eating, limiting my meals into a 6 or 8 hour period. It's easier to eat less to me like that, if i try the 'eat little portions each 3 hours' approach i tend to not be so disciplined, i will be more hungry the more often i eat.

omg, I'm gonna try this, and it saves money too!!
