Yeah that would make me hungry AF too. Luckily I'm able to eat fairly late so I can do all my workouts and sports before I eat.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I agree. After sports one can be quite hungry. Therefore might have to change the eating window, or deal with not eating after the activity. Haven't played ball hockey or tennis in a while but I would think on those days I will be quite a bit under in terms of calorie intake.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

ya im sucking it up. unfortunately beer drinking on the weekend is seeming to nix any weight loss
Down 5 lbs over past week and a half. A few shirts that were getting tight now fit comfortably. Loving this. Exercise intensity at gym is also up.
Like max said some pics would be good. Not to judge but to encourage! Enough shit going on in this world we need some positives.
I wish I actually took a before pic... cause I rarely seem to get captured on camera top less... this is from years back when I was in the USVI, but before I started IF I was heavier than I probably was back then... but in this before pic I was probably close to the lowest muscle mass I have been.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I’ll call it “close enough”, pretty dramatic. I went from 215ish to 185ish (the ish is cause I can fluctuate 5lbs a day easy) I’m 6’1”, I think i’d Be happy at 180lbs. I’m at a point that I’m just seeing very subtle changes at this point so I’m sure I will settle into a steady weight soon if I don’t make any changes to current lifestyle
And yes, I was trying to look as thin as I could in that before pic... there was a damn fine looking female on that sailboat, so wasn’t letting it “hangout”
Drinking this during your fast breaks the fast...This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
May be he meant during the day to fill calories? Basically any calories break the fast.
Probably, you're right.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
RE: calories, I've followed the notion that consuming 50 cals or less during the fast doesn't break it. Have done well over the years.
First time weighting myself the past 4-6 weeks since I knew my weight was always around 190lbs, scale said I'm 183lbs.
10 months since I started IF, I've lost 30lbs.
Weigh loss aside I would be interested to see how BP, blood lipid profile etc improve over say a 6 month period too.
I had a late beer yesterday for stress relieve, dohhh.
I find the opposite. If I eat a gigantic meal the night before, I'm starved the next morning, but if I eat a smaller meal the night before, I'm far less hungry.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Yepp, during the day, I try and eat constantly during my 8hrs but if I dont have any food, ill down one for the protein boost tooThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
That is funny - I often feel the same way - Last night I had a larger meal than I normally do and this morning I felt absolutely fuckin famished. However the night before I ate an hour earlier and consumed 1/2 as much food and I was fine until 2PM next day. Weird how bodies workThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

In my mind, it's because the bigger meal stretches the stomach, so the next day, I essentially have a bigger stomach to fill = feeling hungrier.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I have no idea if that's what the actual case is, but it's how I explain it to myself.

I'll be starting a fasting program next week an I went and got a Dexa-Scan to see exactly where I stand in BF%. After 3-4 months I'll be going back for a subsequent scan to see the measurable changes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I've been at it for 3 months, took a week off from it recently for vacation which served as a re-feed, and to shake things up. Noon till 8PM works the best on my schedule.
It's also efficient and makes me more productive I find in order to keep myself occupied so the time goes quicker and I don't think of the feeling of hunger.
Before bed I'll prepare food for the next day so I can just wake up, get ready for work, grab my lunch, and gtfo the door. Nice to be able to set my alarm so I get an extra 15 minutes of sleep where I would've been making eggs, toast, oats, a shake, etc.
Liquid calories are key to cramming more in. I've taken a liking to banana, 3/4 cup of oats, a scoop or two of vanilla whey isolate, pinch of cinnamon, and maybe some milk. Easy 500 calories.
Ending my second week of IF and my calories are too low I think. I average 600 under maintenance. Shockingly don't feel all that run down.
Going to up the protein shake to try and get more cals in it though.
Haven't weighed myself yet, but the perpetual beer belly is sticking out a bit less

I can eat more hot wings than you.
Got it done at EFW Radiology: http://efwrad.com/patients/body-composition-analysisThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The only location that has the equipment is their Advanced Medical Imaging Centre location and it's only $100.
My results were 24.5% BF mostly located in my midsection (not surprised). What did surprsie me is that I'm stil considered within 'Normal/Acceptable' BF range:

My goal is to get down to 13-15% BF and maintain at that level.
