Hi, I know that this is old but I’ve been doing something like IF, I guess. Basically, I’m to busy/bored to make something to eat and I’ve cut back on carbs.

I have Hashimoto’s which makes me very bloated. I’ve been battling with the bloating for 7 long years. I’ve tried diuretic teas, lemon in water every morning, magnesium, slimming pills which are actually mild diuretics, etc and nothing worked. Last week I came back from a trip 6 lbs heavier and lost the water in 2 days and then, yesterday I ate junk food for the first time in months and I gained less than a lb. If this is really because of IF, I’m going to worship it for ever.

Hey marvelous Tati,
are you still using l-carnitine in the mornings with coffee and before breakfast? What about now how often you started doing fasted state workouts? Thank you for answers as always!

p.s. i love your leg slimming bodyweight intensity workout.. i do it every week to slim my legs, a day before i incorporated weighted workout (Shake your sexy tale) to tone a little bit. I am afraid to be left with small muscles and the same fat 😀 but for upper body i use weights to get more bulky (doing bodyweight i have slim upper body, so need more mass) and i do bodyweight plus cardio for lower body to slim a little bit.

Hey darling, I will check out the article, but I’ve heard of that before. I am doing really great on it, my body is completely use to it and I just love how I feel. I have more energy, I don’t feel stuffy in the morning and I seem to be immune to colds completely.

Hey Tati,
have you read this http://www.paleoforwomen.com/shattering-the-myth-of-fasting-for-women-a-review-of-female-specific-responses-to-fasting-in-the-literature/#comment-1362

I think its worth of attention in fact for woman. Of course it is one side of opinion maybe but with great evidence. Also another proof is our experience with our body and how we feel in the long run.

Could you top up how you getting on with IF? 🙂 Really curious:)

In reply to Dr. J. That's a small window, I do 16/8, that works for me, and I usually have the 3 full meals, sometimes 2.

I’ve done IF Warrior style 20/4 for years! Long before it even had a name. I got into it because of my busy surgical lifestyle. I believe because of it I am lean and fit and avoid many of the food related problems that many people face. The main problem I see with it is that it doesn’t fit the tree meals a day social style. I’ve watched a lot of meals being eaten because of that 🙂

In reply to Christian. Hey Christian, No I don't take any powders at the moment at all. I usually eat something 1.5 hours before my training, and 15 minutes prior, I grab a handful of mulberry, ahh that mulberry, it just gives me wings!
