And that's exactly why you want to keep it to a moderate 8pm to 12 noon fast. Its not hard to do, you lose a little bit of weight each week. You end up healthier with minimal pain or change to life-style.
- linkmotif 8y agoyep I’ve found that moderation is my key to keeping up with anything like this. If I don’t exercise too hard, I’m inclined to come the next day or the day after. I’m on a very similar time restricted eating now, and it’s been sustainable because it’s not too extreme. I’ve experienced great results from it as well. I eat whole milk by way of coffee and then eat 1000 or so calories between 12:30 and 7 or 8 pm.

- phkahler 8y agoBut you're also not triggering ketosis much if at all. The benefits of that go far beyond weight loss. There are test strips you can use to see if you're in ketosis.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoWhat are the benefits of ketosis that you don’t get with 8-12 fast, lots of veggies, and low sugar diet?
- zhengyi13 8y agoThere's two things being mentioned here, going low-to-no-carb, and going to a time-restricted eating schedule. My understanding is that ketosis is a function of low/no carb eating; I think further that in time-restricted eating, if you're losing weight, it's primarily from simply taking in fewer calories overall. Have I misunderstood?
- Angostura 8y agoDoing the 16:8 restricted eating time thing has nothing to do with ketosis.
