@DeenyPS Intermittent Fasting 

Hi I started it yesterday I'm finding it hard to eat the correct calories I eat less can u help me out by telling me what u eat Thanks  

How long is your fasting period? 

@Oumsie 16:8 

wow!fantastic 

Can you share a bit more on how you do it? 

well done im also doing the same thing,I lost 70kg in 6 months 

@mmatsatsi3 It's okay if you're in a caloric deficit. Eating less calories helps you lose the fat - just make sure that the calories that you do consume are nutrient dense.  

I started off doing the 16:8 method and then switched to 18:6. According to some research I've done, sugar and carbs are the preferred source of energy for your body - so I've cut out all sugary things and the only carbs I eat are from veggies. So, by basically eliminating most of the energy sources, my body has to resort to burning the stored fat for energy....... At least that's how I think it works😂  

amazing stuff!! what are your time frames? did you struggle in the beginning? I love eating 

I Lost 18kg last year doing this. Amazing stuff and easy to follow. Went from 83kg to 65kg. 

hOW DOES THIS WORK?  

@Zandravanrooyen - https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/intermittent-fasting-guide I do not eat before midday, and then I start off with a snack - fruit & yogurt, and have a full meal at around 16h00 and just snack again later, should I still feel hungry. The less often I eat, the less often I want to eat. You train your body to not request food all the time.
