I am trying intermitted fasting: fasting 14-15 hours daily and up to 22 hours occasionally.
Do not see any changes in my body at all.
What it did help with was curbing my occasional binge eating, reducing cravings, and helping to realise that I do not need all time and I won't die if I go without a food for a while :)
While these were great psychological consequences, nothing changed on the physical side :(
what am I doing wrong?
I also count calories but I have a cheat day every week.
I feel intermitted fastening is a bit overrated and not super useful without other pats like the ones you mentioned.
- timeu 10y agoYeah ultimately it depends on what you try to achieve. If you wan to reduce weight/bodyfat (note that there is a difference between these two), it's mostly all about whether you are in caloric deficit or not. IF helps with that because it's much harder to overeat in the 8 hour than when you eat the entire day. IF is also quite easy to stick to (at least for me). I just skip breakfest and don't eaet after 8pm. But in order to see more physical change I would highly recommend to either lift weights or do some HIIT. Check the leangains.com guides on IF and workout. Edit: Also it takes a while until you see change on your body (was the same for me), so keep going.
- nadezhda18 10y agothanks for the suggestions! how long did it take you to see changes with IF? I have been doing it maybe about 6 months already... meanwhile, will go and read leangains.com :)
