  16:8 is BETTER than nothing and will benefit MOST people bc most people do nothing. <br>So even starting with a 16 and 8 can be hugely beneficial.

  This channel is the king of paralysis by analysis. The amount of contradicting information on here is truly outstanding.

  I cleaned up what I eat and do 16:8 fasting. Started a month ago. Lost 13 lbs. so far and I feel better.

  I am just going to eat whole foods, exercise, sleep well and hope for the best. I am genuinely developing behavioural issues because of information I am looking at online...There are credible people everywhere giving different opinions and it&apos;s so confusing, time to stop overthinking 😅.

  I&apos;ve been exercising for 30 minutes every morning while following a 16-hour intermittent fast. I&apos;ve lost 40 pounds in almost 3 months.

  I have been an IFer for years and also wrote a book called Isometonics about IF and non-gym exercises. I have tried ALL fasts, except for anything over 3 days. Here is my opinion. 16:8 is a good stepping stone for those getting into IF or for getting control of insulin resistance after years of unhealthy eating habits. It’s a good entry point into longer fasts. From my perspective, with proper nutrition, you can lose weight doing a 16:8 but if that’s your goal, it will take longer to achieve your desired results than an 18:6, Alternate Day Fasting, OMAD or extended fasts. I started with 16:8, then 18:6, then I did Alt Day fasting (and had my best results) then OMAD. Here is my schedule now: A 36 hour fast (Alt Day Fasting) 2-3 times per month. And a mixture of OMAD and 18:6 the other days of the week, whatever fits my schedule. For max results, if I want to lose weight quickly for some reason like a martial arts competition, I will combine Keto and OMAD which keeps the body in a constant state of ketosis. Both combined is a powerhouse. One point about 36 hr fasting. Everyone is different. To say that a 16:8 doesn’t work is wrong. It’s not one size fits all. I admire and hold these experts in high regard but you must use what works and what is sustainable for you. A 36 hour fast once per week is easy for people that have been fasting a while. Not so easy for those who haven’t and I would never suggest jumping into that right away without doing smaller fasts first. My 2 cents.

  I have been fasting 18 hours a day for the last 4 years. It has rolled my age back 7 to 10 years, healed my back after experiencing 25 years of pain, &nbsp;Now I&apos;m almost as fit as I was at the age of 25.

  We are all very different. Personally, I am T2DM in full remission. Through using the 18-6 fasting window, my A1c is now 4.9 from 9.2, and my fasting insulin is merely 1.8 from 12.6 six years ago. BOOYA!
