I am now at the stage of maintaing stable body weight. Even when I gain weight after festival or long weekend crazy eating, once I resume fasting, I'm fine. Though hunger is not really my challenge, I do want to eat everyday. Therefore 24-hour fasting, ie, dinner everyday suits me best. My dinner is usually quite a big meal as I do enjoy eating after a day's fasting. <a href="http://www.fasting-for-weight-loss.com" rel="nofollow">Anna from Fasting For Weight Loss</a><br>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496339450401814849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-79954959114989282442010-08-20T18:57:01.015+03:002010-08-20T18:57:01.015+03:00I agree completely that total calories, independen...I agree completely that total calories, independent of when/what is eaten, make the difference for weight loss or gain or to maintain. The strictest/best metabolic ward studies show that. There can be problems with edema if someone is consuming foods they're allergic to, or high carb, but that's it. And people with thyroid disease have to consume less, but not by as huge amount as some people claim. I've managed my weight well for my entire adult life (I was born in 1970) by following a variety of "diets" simply by carefully keeping track of calories. When I eat too much, I gain weight. I've tested that by deliberately following a high fat diet and overeating calories, and yep, fat gain! lol. However, the difference between success and failure is hunger, which is the hardest challenge when trying to reduce weight, and that can definitely be reduced greatly with an Atkins or low carb/moderate to high fat Paleo approach, and energy levels can be better overall, after the adaptation period of course. When I was eating low fat, high carb, I had to control my calories with high fiber foods and frequent small meals. Now that I'm Paleo, it's much easier. I can go for a long time w/o eating and not be bothered by hunger to any strong degree. I've been doing a long run of IF daily for 18-22 hrs, usually about 21.5 hrs, with an eating window of 2-4 hours. I too experience light headedness at about the 19 hr mark, which passes within 30 minutes or so. What you posted about when hunger hits you matches what I experience more or less. Very interesting.Lilleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337872580904387164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-65481350648107455292010-03-05T10:31:57.898+02:002010-03-05T10:31:57.898+02:00Hi

Sometimes I am forced to eat due to social life and gain weight. But when I resume my IF eating habit, my body weight resume normal. IF has been working for me so far so good. It's going to be my 5th year of IF anyway. Thought more people should go on the IF way of eating.<br /><a href="http://go-fasting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">intermittent fasting success</a>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496339450401814849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-70724209688646327062010-03-04T18:26:03.678+02:002010-03-04T18:26:03.678+02:00I have been intermittent fasting for around a year...I have been intermittent fasting for around a year now...i have done the 'eat stop eat' syle which is two 24 hour fasts a week and currently i am doing 16 hour fasts with an 8 hour window <br />I lost several pounds following the two 24 hours fast per week and I ate tons of carbs - the only thing that matters is the calorie intake - you can lose fat fasting intermittingly or on any other 'diet' as long as the your weekly calories (energy) eaten is less than the the calories (energy) used by your body - and your fat stores will provide the balance of enregy . i ate whatever - sometimes healthy, sometimes not so much, but it all comes down to calorie (energy) intake - the problem is the BMR calculatros tend to add alittle to many extra calories - you have to eat very little to actually lose weight - whether this is a healthy way to do it ..i dont know..but it defiantely helps to lose fat - i would recommend liffting wiehgts or resistance training to maintain youe muscle mass<br />My mother in law is on some crazy diet where she can only eat certain things, very restrictive and it even involves some metabolism pill and shes lost a bunch of weight but its because the diet calls for 900-1000 calories a day...its all in the energy consumed and engery expended...<br />Mike Phelps eats 12000 calories when he is training and he does gets thiose calories through piizza and pasta, grits - tons of carbs..but its becasue he burns the energy of these foodsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-48326248337297090732009-12-27T15:37:07.762+02:002009-12-27T15:37:07.762+02:00Hey JLL,

Though, it depends on how hard the workout is - if it's very light, then I do feel hungry, but if it's hard, then the thought of eating is almost nauseating. I think this is a common phenomenon among bodybuilders. Aerobic training (running, for example) combined with fasting is much harder for me, however, at least towards the end of the fast.<br /><br />That said, in my case the hunger will make a comeback about three hours after the workout. But if you're feeling really hungry and want to extend the fast, working out is a pretty good way to do it.JLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-83684961172235580332009-12-23T17:51:41.531+02:002009-12-23T17:51:41.531+02:00JLL,

I have started an IF diet( 20fasting/4feeding) and I do see that it takes a lot of restraint but I am conquering it one day at a time. I work out pretty frequently on empty and what I've found is that I'm not hungry afterwards. It completely baffles me. Now I'm more aware of what I'm putting in my mouth and how it impacts my body, mood etc. I also make sure to take a one a day vitamin. I can't tell you enough how encouraging this is, especially considering that fasting is a recommended part of my spiritual growth and I've not been successful at doing it til now.I will continue to watch this blog but are you on any other sites... twitter, facebook etc?<br /><br />Thanks so much for your response<br /><br />Ke~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-82364875030768004272009-12-04T09:47:25.505+02:002009-12-04T09:47:25.505+02:00@Ke~,
My weight didn't change dramatically du...@Ke~,<br /><br />My weight didn't change dramatically during this period, but then, I wasn't doing it to gain or lose weight. I'm sure both options are possible on IF, depending on what/how much you eat -- indeed, I think diet has a much larger impact on weight gain than fasting. <br /><br />For weight loss, IF does two things: it increases insulin sensitivity (at least in rodents) and teaches self-control. These can get you off to a good start, but a junk food diet combined with IF will probably cause weight gain. So it's not a magic bullet. <br /><br />I'm currently not doing 24/24 intermittent fasting anymore; I haven't yet decided what I'll do next. I still have fairly long breaks between meals, however.<br /><br />I'm not worried about starvation mode, and as long as you don't significantly cut back on the amount of total calories you eat, I don't think that's going to be a problem. I think starvation mode (if such a thing truly exists) is only a problem when attempts to lose weight by eating a diet high in carbs but lower in calories. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.<br /><br />I know there's a Yahoo group that talks about fasting in general; you could try that. And then there's <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?threadid=373911" rel="nofollow">this intermittent fasting thread</a> that I post in once in a while. <br /><br />Hope this helps,<br /><br />JLLJLLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01200324973565346888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-14924198791750252152009-12-03T17:09:15.480+02:002009-12-03T17:09:15.480+02:00Hi JLL,

I do still have energy to work out and normally I eat an apple when I break the fast before any real food. I am doing it for weight loss and a to teach myself how to control what I put in my mouth. Please tell me when you started noticing a difference in your weight. My grandmother did this for years and she's in good health at 73. Will you continue to fast? Is there some type of support site for this type of life style. Are you worried about forcing your body into starvation mode? I have so many questions? I'm looking forward to your insight.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />Ke~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049415900026167371.post-15898412527928137382009-10-23T13:02:00.210+03:002009-10-23T13:02:00.210+03:00@Anonymous,
