I'm starting on 16/8 today, with weekends off. We will see how it goes, as I've stagnated and need to jumpstart this again.

Hey Super,
How are you doing? I'm not there yet and I'm gonna chart each day. Once you get used to it, your there.

February 3rd 16/8, February 4th,,,,etc.

Default Help needed!

I am completely intrigued by the IF approach, but have a question I have not seen addressed anywhere--hoping someone here can help:

I am on a medication that must be taken WITH FOOD at 12 hour intervals, and I take it each day at 6-7 am and 6-7 pm. That interferes with any fast pattern. SO, what would be my best food option with which to take that 6 am med? A quick digester, like an apple or even applesauce, or a more complex carb like a piece of Ezekiel toast with maybe nut butter, or a fat like coconut oil of half an avocado or nuts, or a protein, like a hard boiled egg?

I've just restarted the 16/8 window. I honestly don't know why I ever stopped. I honestly feel sooooo much better eating like this!

I see there are 2 IF threads. I lost 40 lb with IE but this year I gained back 15. So discouraged. I don't even know where to start.

Six weeks in and I am down 7 lbs, and hoping this trend continues!

I'm finding myself hungry every day. Maybe that's part of the deal though.
