will fasting 16 hours a day help me lose weight?

>>42159071
yes

>>42159071
Just make sure you drink a lot of water and a pinch or two of salt

>>42159071
>Will not eating food help me lose weight?
I can't imagine how. Most the WWII holocaust victims got fatter and fatter before they died of heart attacks. Or am I mistaken?

>>42159108
>holocaust
He fell for the jewish lies

>>42159071

No. Aside from being unhealthy for a multitude of reasons, your body will simply enter starvation mode and you will not lose weight as easily as by careful dieting and exercise.

>>42159071
If you don't eat pure garbage, then yeah.

You don't have to be too strict, but the cleaner you eat, the more you'll lose.

>>42159132
Fasting is unhealthy? Is water poisonous too, Dr. Cumguzzler?

>>42159132

>16 hours fasting unhealthy
>starvation mode

Lmao, you're one of the phaggots who think they will metabolise all gains if they dont eat protein every three hours, arent you?

>>42159115
It was real you cunt

>>42159108
You eat the same amount of food in a small designated window. Intermittent fasting works.

Is 16 hours a long time to fast? An 8-hour eating window could be like 10am-6pm, which is basically a normal day. Are people constantly eating from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to bed? No wonder everyone is getting fat. I often eat one big meal mega-meal a day which is like a 23-hour fast.

>>42159220
no, it's just 16:8. lots of people do it. most of them eat from 12 to 8 though

>>42159071

It depends. If you fast 16 hours then you eat 4000 calories in 8 hours with no exercise then no. You are better off just counting calories and eating chicken breast + vegetables for lunch and dinner + a light breakfast and "fast" between meals.

>>42159071
I've been doing this for like 3 weeks/ a month, and it really works, the first days can be problematic since you're not used to it. I also deleted soda from my diet to get better results. A lot of people have told me that i look better, i don't know how much weight i've lost though, i haven't weighed myself yet.

>>42159132
>fasting
>intermittent fasting
a not so small word can make a huge difference.

OP: I've switched to IF because I don't have the time for a proper meal during my work day and ended up eating shit sandwiches in between.
Once my body got used to it, it was much easier to control my weight, because I could prepare one large meal in the late afternoon that contains everything I need.
I haven't read so much background info yet, but It sure as hell is an option to consider.

>>42159303
Did you tell them you're fasting?

>>42159071
Depends on what you eat in the other 8 hours

>>42159303
Actually no, none of them asked me for my "trick" or anything like that.
Also just to add to my previous comment, everytime i wake up i drink a glass of water, and if i start to feel hungry at work i drink just 1 cup of black coffe. I only eat from 2 pm to 10 pm.

>>42159392
There is no way youve lost fat for 3 weeks from switching to IF. You probably eat less salt or something.

>eating before bedtime

>>42159411
Well i do IF and Lift, so maybe it added up?, also yeah i eat protein meals before bedtime (i go to the gym at night), is that a bad thing?

>>42159411

Theres literally nothing wrong with eating before bedtime

The after-meal sleepiness knocks me out. Trying to fall asleep on an empty stomach is not pleasant

500 cal deficit
16/8 fast
Carb cycling
Heavy Barbell Training/20 min cardio alternating days
Gone from 98kg to 82kg in 6 months, lifts have increased.
Multivitamin/Fish oil/Ascetly L-Carnitine + BCAAs (prob not necessary either of these but more of a habit than anything)
Cup of green tea with each meal, only water and sugarless soft drink occasionally.

As for macros/cheat meals etc. I literally just eat whatever the fuck I want as long as I hit that calorie and protein goal.

>>42159132
why dont you read a little about a toppic before start talking about it you fucking retard

I OMAD and started off using adderall but now I can just survive without the adderall for appetite suppression. I'm eating at a deficit but IDK about the additional health benefits. Hopefully it's muscle sparing

>>42159108

This level of sarcasm makes you look like a massive unfunny cunt.

Unfortunately, most of the autists on thos board do not understand subtlety. They don't understand many social situations. If you want this special ed class known as /fit/ to track what you're saying, you have to really lay it on thick.

Also, your opinion means nothing to me.

>>42159071
Yes but unsustainable in the long run

>>42159095
OP you need to do this if you start getting headaches. I did 72 hour fasts/eating two days a week to lose weight and it worked but the sides are pretty bad. no sleep, dizzy sometimes, headaches.
