    I’ve been observing 16:8 intermittent fasting for close to 2 years now and it has really helped keep my weight in check. I’m not obese or anything but the main benefit I really get from it is I’ve stopped snacking late into evening, which I think was really the unhealthy habit I had. It also helped me cut back on overeating sweets.

      Do you get cravings outside your 8 hour eating window?

        Only for like a week or two after I first started. There were times where I was eating a lot right before my eating window ended because I was afraid of going hungry. But the body adapts surprisingly fast. Nowadays I can sometimes even go up to 18 hours without eating when I’m busy and forget about the time.
