3. I'm with Bernardo.

I try to eat only between about noon or 1 till 9. So long as I keep busy-ish in the morning, it's not a struggle. I enjoy the "empty" feeling. We've even hiked or biked empty and gone 12+ hours without eating. There's a kind of high - mental clarity - that sets in with the ketosis.

"Ketosis is part of the metabolic process of the body. It happens when the body does not have enough carbohydrates from food that help your cells burn up for energy. During ketosis, the body starts burning fat instead. The liver then creates ketones, which is a type of acid and enters the bloodstream. This fat is then used by the muscles and tissues to be used as fuel."

I attribute IF for my drop in glucose levels. I try to eat healthy - especially my 1st meal after breaking my fast. But there really are no restrictions to what or how much you eat during the "feeding window" to do IF. I just try to use good basic nutrition. 😲 I'm also not dogmatic about it - if I'm with company or whatever I'll eat with them that day.
