Hi All,
I've been intermittent fasting for about ten days now, and so far it's going pretty well. I looked at the various popular plans out there and decided to run a 16 hour fast / 8 hour feed. During the fast, I allow myself black coffee, water and electrolytes. No food, sugary drinks or even artificially-sweetened drinks. So basically I fast form midnight till 4pm. I break my fast at work with a glass of milk and an apple, then have dinner when I get home, then eat a snack before going to bed. Then I basically skip dinner and lunch.
I've been working out in the mornings. Either bodyweight strength or long runs. I've done a 9 mile mountain run and a 9 mile road run. I ended both runs with lots of energy. I'm trimming down slowly. I feel fucking fantastic.
Granted, I'm somewhat fat adapted from the past couple years of endurance sports, but I thought this would be harder.
Is anyone else running IF? If so, what are your experiences?
