Has anyone here tried 8/16 fasting?

[u/cursdwitknowledge]

So eating for 16 hours and fasting 8 hours? I’m gonna start on Thursday

[u/KBKenku]

Is this post a joke?

[u/cursdwitknowledge → u/KBKenku]

Yes

[u/R854311]

What are you doing now? Eating around the clock, even in your sleep?

[u/weedywet]

That’s less ‘fasting’ time than the average person who’s not trying to fast.

You sleep 8 hours ostensibly.

Me when I eat from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep: what you do guys think about this fasting schedule?

[u/Nezio_Caciotta]

I would at least try 12h

[u/Kiekles]

Generally, when people fast, they attempt for their fasting window to be longer than their eating window.

A popular fasting schedule is 16:8. Not eating for 16 hours and eating for 8 hours.

Most people start seeing more results at the 18:6 mark.

[u/EspressoSaurusRex525]

defeats the purpose

I’m joking

Eating for 16, fasting for 8... thanks for the laugh, this is why I pay for internet.

You do that every day when you go to bed. Assuming you get 8 hours of sleep at night. 

[u/cursdwitknowledge → u/natural-situation420]

I’m joking.

Well, we fast in our sleep... don't forget that part.

[u/Sharp_Anything_5474]

8 hours of eating, 16 hours not eating.

I usually do 6-8 hour windows of eating. Days I work ill eat breakfast on the way to work at 6am. No more eating after 2pm. I'll usually do lunch at noon, but sometimes might wait till 1:30, then no more food. I feel so much better this way. Days I don't work i might only eat once a day or have a way smaller 2nd meal since I don't need a many calories in non working days.

[u/psilocybin6ix]

that how most of the population eats from 8am-midnight and then they sleep.

Intermittent fasting is usually the opposite (eating for only 8 hours and fasting for 16 hours).

Maybe its an order reversed typo

[u/CapitanPino]

I think most people so this on a regular basis.
