How long have you been doing IF? Do you do the 20 hour fast every day? How do you handle social situations where food is served? Wouldn't it be nice if there was reliable "expert" information out there for us to learn from? It is a challenge figuring out what to believe, what to take with a grain of salt, and what to flat out discard as drug company funded propaganda! Thank you for your feedback Mary!

In this window, I normally eat 2 meals. I have lost a little weight, but more importantly I have had more pleasant cycles. Plus, that big fat gut that i used to have at night is gone. My tummy doesn't expand so much anymore. Everything that I have experienced has demonstrated the benefits of fasting. This is something that I would have shunned 5 months ago. I think that the "experts" who push eating 3-6 meals a day are causing obesity, diabetes and other related diseases. When I fast, it is completely low carb. I am not diabetic but I displayed hypoglycemic symptoms before I became a low carb dieter, 4 years ago. Diabetes does run in my family and I do expect that one day, I too, will become diabetic but not without a fight. I think that IF is one more weapon against diabetes.
