Never more than 12
Never more than 12
I never liked breakfast, but felt compelled to. Having sugar in my coffee (prob the table cream I used too) always made me crazy hungry shortly after it, where I'd crave the greasiest shit. When I drink it black, which is the key for me, I don't get that feeling.I stumbled into Intermittant fasting through a program called www.naturallyslim.com It's been great for me, and definitely feels the most natural for my lifestyle. What it came down to for me, is that I don't get hungry during the day and I was forcing myself to eat when my body didn't need it. Now I eat when I'm actually hungry and stop when I'm satisfied and it's been a game changer for me. It's seems obvious, but it's easier said than done.
It's the first food plan I've tried that didn't make me feel like I was on a temporary "diet" plan. IF has been a game changer for me for sure. I feel like I've finally found a way to eat that I can maintain forever. That's never happened before. it's easy to "get back on" because I never really get off. It's simple and effective and it fits my life. Best thing I've ever found.I never liked breakfast, but felt compelled to.

It's easy to skip breakfast now, and coupled with a 6 or 7 hour sleep, it's not difficult to make it to 12 hours of not eating. I always get some cravings around 9 hours, but I'll chug water, or have more coffee. By the 12th hour or so I'm not even hungry anymore, so pushing further is always easy. I like the option of going further, or not. It helps keep intermittent fasting from being routine/regimented. I don't like restrictions like that, so this is easy to follow.
When you've gone 16 hours without eating, you almost want to eat better too, so it helps promote healthier eating. That being said, you don't feel as guilty eating a bacon double cheeseburger either lol, but you generally won't want to, win win
