Anybody doing this right now? I’ve been doing it for a couple of weeks. Some days are easy some are more difficult. I’m doing 18:6. I started with 16:8 but I found I didn’t get enough of a fast with that. I’ve managed a couple of days with 20:4.

Most people skip breakfast but I’m skipping dinner because I’m not willing to give up my pot of tea with milk and honey every morning.

I have two meals a day, no snacks. Last meal is at 4 pm.

Grrrr. I just clicked “create topic” and got a message “Title already used”. So wtf am I supposed to name it?
