I'm struggling with all the conflicting information about fasting right now. I've heard several podcasts talk about women in middle age not doing fasted workouts in the morning or fasting until later in the day. I had lost 35 lbs a few years ago with afternoon eating windows of around 4-5 hours, but this past 6 months, I gained 20 lbs over the holidays and just can't get it off. I know I have a lot of hormonal issues right now, so what worked before isn't working now. I'm planning to try opening my eating windows earlier in the day with protein and ending them by early afternoon, aiming to stretch the eating time to 6-8 hours to get more protein in. I'm hoping this will help. I'm afraid I might eat too much with a longer window, but adding more protein should help. I also try to get most of my protein from food, but it's hard, and I will probably need to add some protein or collagen powder to my meals to hit my goals on a lot of days. Is this approach reasonable?
What do you think about my method of intermittent fasting for about four months, where I eat within a 10-hour window and fast for 12 hours? I've been able to control my calorie intake and focus on getting enough protein because of the smaller eating window. I've become more intentional about what goes into my meals, ensuring they are high in protein along with enough carbs and other essential nutrients.
At 75 and grossly overweight, nondiabetic but with a lifetime history of elevated cholesterol (by today's standards), I changed the way I eat on March 1 to a carnivore diet exclusively for 2 1/2 months. I also practiced intermittent fasting usually 3-4 days a week. Since then, I have eased into more of a ketovore way of eating, only using low-carb vegetables. I have lost 22 lbs and feel wonderful. However, I am worried about muscle loss and tendinopathy. I use the night hours as the longest part of my fasting protocol. If I eat before bed, will this practice affect the fasting? Thanks for your insight. Janis R.
