I do about 16-18 hour fasts 3-4 days a week. It’s something you should probably ease yourself into, but if you combine it with a workout just before you break your fast and you can get some very effective results.
I’m not usually a breakfast person, so skipping that meal has always been easy for me. The main thing is to stop eating earlier in the evening and then you can have lunch.
You have to be okay with black coffee or plain tea, the caffeine in both act as an appetite suppressant as well. But it’s pretty easy when you do it. Have an overall healthy diet otherwise with a good mix of carbs, fats and proteins and you’re going to have some good results.
I’ve actually gained weight since I started, but it’s muscle mass, as I’ve been doing a lot of strength training lately. But I’ve lost a lot of the flab around my belly.
