Haven't read study yet, but I do 16:8 daily. I'm not sure for me it makes a big difference on weight loss, but maybe a little (I'm already a healthy body weight - not trying to lose). Primarily it is one less meal to think about making. I also eat low carb, but not religiously but more simply based on my diet: meat, eggs, and vegetables mostly (I do avoid almost all refined carbs entirely though except for on rare occasion).
- cdubzzz 4y agoHow do you ensure you get enough protein in this situation? Even with meat and eggs as a common source I’d be concerned about getting too much in a single meal and/or not enough overall.
- hombre_fatal 4y agoIf you can’t eat enough protein in 8 hours when you’re still eating meat and eggs, your protein goal sounds too high.
- memcg 4y agoI'm down 95 lbs from 325 lbs following my version of low carb\keto for 20 months. I also restrict to 16:8, eat lots of eggs, meat, nuts and leafy greens. I use a breathalyzer to track ketones and blood test strips for glucose. My lab results at 3, 6, 14 and 20 months show improvement. My A1C is back below diabetic levels. My father died at 68. I'm almost 67, so I want to find what works for me.
- hedora 4y agoSo, you are losing 5 lbs a month. The maximum safe weight loss rate is about 1-2lbs per week. Congrats on sticking with it! I strongly suggest basic strength training if you are not doing it already. I lost 20lbs on a vegan calorie restricted diet and was obviously weaker / more injury prone afterwards. That was double-stupid of me, but you are probably losing muscle and lowering your base metabolism unless you are doing something to compensate. Exercise bands with handles are the best bang for the buck. See my other comments.
