Research Highlights: A study of over 20,000 adults found that those who followed an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a type of intermittent fasting, had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease. People with heart disease or cancer ...
As a big fan of IF, I find this really depressing.
It took a bit of time (few weeks) to start losing, but I never gained more weight since starting; so not in my experience. I did notice at the beginning that I was compensating by eating a lot during the 8-hour window, because I was afraid of going hungry. After around a month, I got used to it and just started eating normally. I just make sure I eat my last meal exactly right before I’m supposed to stop, so I don’t go hungry. If I eat too late (i.e. night out with friends, etc.), I just adjust and eat later the next morning. Stopping the late snacking is definitely one of the reasons I think I lost weight.
I may give it another kick my challenge is I take my pills in the morning and need food and I’m not gonna stop eating at 4pm. Gotta figure out how to shift things around. So far just cutting out the crap has helped immensely
Oh yeah definitely a challenge if you need take meds in the morning. I do 10am-6pm and sometimes start as late as 12 noon if I ate too late the night before. Can you delay your meds to at least 9:30 maybe? But yeah, I think just cutting out the snacks is already a good thing, and if it works for you, I don’t think you need to strictly follow the 8-hour window if it means affecting your meds.
Quick question. Was doing a 14/10 and found my weight was increasing is that normal in your experience?
I decided to just do normal without the restrictions but kept the no snacking.
