I’ve read about I.F. on Mercola.com but hearing about it from a mom like me is more encouraging. I am hypoglycemic and think this may help me stabilize my blood sugar better. I’d also love to lose 5 pounds. So I’ll report back and let you know how it goes!

That was hardest for me too! but when I know it’s mostly during the week and I don’t have to do it EVERY DAY, it gives me so much freedom! 13-14 is great!

I thought that it would be difficult, but i have found that the only thing that I have had to change is no snacking after dinner. I fast for approx 13-14 hours. Are there more benefits to fasting longer, or am I right on track?

Hi Britta,

Whenever your body is trying to adapt to a new way of doing things, it’s going to go into a bit of “shock.” Those initial 4 lbs would have been easy, but in order to see more change, it has to be a long term thing. You can’t go into “fat-adapt” mode for a short time and expect to stay there without continuing to do the things necessary that keep you there. Does that make sense? Something like intermittent fasting is not a quick fix. It is a lifestyle change that over time is the BEST and easiest way to lose weight and keep it off long term. I fast 5-6 days per week, which I feel is pretty doable! Then the weekends allow a difference in schedule.

Thanks for your comment, I hope that clarifies a bit!
All the best,
Kelsey

Pros:

I lost 4 pounds in the first week, but didn’t lose anything for the remainder weeks.
I had less of a sweet tooth.
I felt I had more control and will power when it came to foods.

Cons:

I don’t feel it is sustainable forever. I think I can do it during a period of cleansing, but not continually.
I need to lose weight, and though the first week was encouraging, it was disappointing for it to end there.
