Fasting

Zincubus

Just another point , maybe my last   Is that I've already mentioned that my wife   , daughter , family and friends have also been successfully converted to fasting albeit only 16/8 .

My wife and daughter have always ate a fabulously healthy diet and yet they've both been amazed at the benefits gained from simply simply skipping breakfast.

On that basis I think I am on the verge of qualifying as a scientist too. Lol

I know you think a lot of people have been knocking you, which is not 100% true.
But I have a genuine question on this subject.
With your whole family fasting on a regular basis. And with the food you do buy being healthier and less processed and junk type. Have you notice a decrease in your shopping bills? Is it significant?

skipping breakfast isn't extended fasting.

You are correct . The weekly food bill is slightly less , I say slightly as it was only me who was living on junk food . Also we spend more than ever on masses of fruit and also chickens , salmon - cod , lamb and beef joints . Still a saving and now we eat like Royalty

Also I still eat a good amount of food each day - minimum of 2000  calories , guessing nearer 2500 some days . It's just eaten in a short 4 hour window .

Well most fast from late evening ( 11 pm ? ) until 7am .. maybe an 8 hour fast so 9pm until the following 1pm is 16 hours - twice as long .... That's only for those using the 16:8 method ..... I fast from 9pm till the following 5pm which is a 20 hour  fast each day ....

IronGiant

it was an 8 hour window earlier...  You are moving the goal posts.

just admit it was the junk food.

Really !!

I have been promoting 16:8 fasting as it's the most commonly used . I also made it clear that I followed the 20:4 regime where I fast from 9pm until 5pm the following day . That's a fact . Check through the thread properly .

Forgive me but I'd expect better from a scientist .

20:4 regime mentioned in the first few of my posts .
