12 hours? Sounds like just skipping breakfast would constitute as intermittent fasting for me. My breakfast is usually pretty light anyway.
You're exactly right. Just skip breakfast and don't eat snacks after dinner and you'll be at 16 hours easy. Try it for a week and see how you feel. I've been IF'ing for 15 months now and it's great. Lost 20 pounds without even trying and have more energy during the day.

I'd be curious to hear more about what you experienced during your keto flu
There was a bunch of little stuff. I don't think it was as bad as the flu, but it was somewhat uncomfortable. The initial symptom was wanting to eat all of the time, even if I wasn't hungry. My brain was convinced that I had to spend huge chunks of my time chewing on something flavorful. So I sliced off some very flavorful cheese and nibbled little tiny pieces during the morning. That seemed to work. Note that I avoi…
It's insane. You go buy beans, and there's rice flour in it. You buy salmon, and there's sugar in it. It's beyond ridiculous, and explains so much about rising levels of obesity. Anything even vaguely processed has a lot of unnecessary carbs added, for one reason or another.

Sounds great, but is this compatible with: - bodybuilding - 20 miles daily commute by bicycle - intellectually intense work, e.g. hackathons ?

Like many programmers, especially us older folks, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. Three weeks ago I went on a ketogenic diet. This week I've added intermittent fasting, only eating between noon and six. After the "keto flu" period ended, it's been quite enjoyable. The IF comes quite naturally and is painless. I'm not one to spot diet trends, but my intuition says that keto/IF will be a big thing over th…

it really doesnt take much to implement an intermittent fasting regimen. one easy way to hit it is to simply move to an 8 hour feeding window, eg 10-6 really taking advantage of the time you are sleeping as 'fasting' time, makes the concept of fasting a lot less daunting

I highly recommend looking into the work of Dr. Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D. She has extensive material explaining the science behind IF, and many other topics relating to bio pathways and aging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6KClPkotxM https://www.foundmyfitness.com/
Jesting aside. She is cool, talks very fast and deliver an awful lot of information in a short time.
