[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 706686, member: 18958"] Lil. This was the first time I had heard of intermittent fasting, when you posted about your sister in law. I had not remembered this. Than you. Lil. What about doing the 16 hour version, where your first meal is at say, 10 am when you begin your feeding window, and finishing dinner by 6 pm, and not eating after dinner? Could you envision something like this? The Weightwatcher system changed in 2015 I think. Many people hated it. I tried it. I ate almost nothing. I was allowed say 24 points. I ate 50. Eating nothing. They have changed the system so you are penalized by poor choices. Greatly. You are steered to eat only healthy foods, so really anymore you cannot eat what you want. After that is when I went to eating 9 cups of salad a day, a whole bag of Costco Salad. I threw out half the dressing. I gained 2.5 pounds in a couple of weeks. Forget it. It all goes back to what works. And I agree with Jabber: what works in the short run is not necessarily in one's long term interests. Witness: we got fat by poor short-term choices. For 2 years I went to a nutritionist each month. I lost 7 pounds a year. On her system, I lost zero. I ate less than she recommended. And still, a half pound a month? Give me a break. I may not be doing the smartest thing now, but I see change. I see the possibility of change. I am 10 percent above the healthy range for my height. I am 20 percent from my goal weight. I am going to do this. [/QUOTE]
