Wanted to do 16:8 IF this week, but just found I as too hungry so gave it a miss. I did 3 hours of exercise last week and 4 hours this week - not counting walking to the shops and working in the garden so I may have built some muscle to explain the lack of weight loss, but it's still hella frustrating. I think I've lost some cm's so will measure on the 1st and see. Would be good to do my 20th parkrun tomorrow morning, but will have to see what I feel like when I wake up. Don't really want to have to reduce my calories further - aiming for a 1500 cal average this week (1660 last week and 1820 the week before). Next week will be a blow-out week as it's my birthday so I'm planning plenty cheat meals so will have to relook the calorie count the following week and try to spark a bit of movement in the right direction again. Glad to be getting back to working with the weights I was using at the start of December again though - started the year feeling a bit weak, but strength is returning slowly.

When the hunger pangs start, just drink water, green tea, coffee/tea(minimal milk and no sugar but a sweetener can be used). These hunger pangs are normal and subside after a few days. Your body will reprogram itself.

And also the hunger pains come in waves, it doesn't get worse & worse, it'll go away.

IF is a great way to go and it's easy to give into the hunger pangs, but as mentioned once you get into it, it gets better. I also drink green tea/black coffee to stave off the cravings, keeping water close helps too. My main problem is Shark week, it gets me off track everytime....

If you battle to get back into a 16/8 start with a shorter fast and add 1 hour every week or every 5 days just to get your body adapted again - good advice from Dr Jason Fung - world expert on IF!
