Has anyone tried fasting

[Ronni]

I have never officially fasted. That said, I eat breakfast at around 8.30, have a light lunch around noon, fruit snack mid afternoon and dinner by 6.00-6.30.

We don’t snack at night after dinner. According to what I’ve read about fasting, some would consider that 14 hour window between dinner and breakfast a fast.

No one seems to be preaching balanced meals and smaller portions. also, never food shop when you are hungry. I had a boss who's motto was "Curb your desires, Ace!" That might apply to overeating.

My friend always says that some people eat to live and some live to eat. I fell in that latter category, but I'm slowly changing it one day at a time.

I tried intermittent fasting. First 12 and 12, then 8 (fast) and 16 (eating). I couldn't stick with either one. My son fasts all the time. We are both diabetics so I don't know how he doesn't get sick. He often fasts for 3 days, even 10 days sometimes and seems to prefer those over the intermittent fasting. He just broke a three day fast two days ago. I get hypoglycemic if I go for too many hours without eating. Also, I think it would be dangerous because I'm on diabetes medications. My son refused to take them and manages his diabetes with diet.
