You do a 16 hour fast, but only eat dinner? When are you eating your other food/meal? I do a similar length fast most weekdays, I just don't like eating soon after waking up so I only have water/black coffee until lunch. But I have a BIG lunch (1200-1600+ cal) and then something else around 7-8 or occasionally skip dinner. I think it's much easier to deal with not having eaten for awhile during the evening, you're usually doing something low-energy by then and if you start getting really hungry you can just go to sleep.
- AndrewKemendo 8y ago16 hours is the minimum. No other meal, but I may snack later in the evening depending on what was for dinner. Anywhere from 12-2AM until 5-7PM is my fast period. Yesterday for example, I didn't eat after 1 am but dinner was around 7PM so the fast was about 18 hours that day. Today I didn't eat after 1230 last night but dinner was at 5, so 16 1/2 hours. I'm the opposite actually, I geared my eating to be in the evening as I stay up late. I know I can distract myself with work or kids etc... during the day, but night is where I would naturally eat/graze anyway, so might as well just move my whole eating period to then.
