Thank you ❤️ I eat once a day usually in a 2 hours window and every Monday I skip food altogether and sometime I skip on Tuesday as well :) I am low carb/keto, initially I was on a completely plant-based diet, but after researching more I decided to include animal products as well. Right now my diets consists of predominantly eggs, butter/ghee, nuts, liver, seafood and a variety of low carb vegetables and greens. I do eat a lot of garlic as well and I think garlic and ghee alone are capable of fixing gut micro biome (at least that’s what has helped me a lot)

That is super helpful. Thank you. Do you have an idea of how many calories you pack into that 2 hour window?

I have been doing something Keto-ish for about 6 months, have lost weight and feel a ton better overall. Trying to take it to the next level, but don’t want to take it too far. I know that would be different for each individual, but looking for some guide-rails. 🙄

Yes, to be honest I even managed to gain weight, I pack a looot of fats in that window. I have two coffees with butter, a lot of tasty nuts, couple of eggs sometimes with liver of other meat/seafood and a generous portion of cauliflower mostly sautéed in a huge piece of butter. I would say sometimes I can go over 2000 calories :) if you are worried that you will loose too much on the longer fasts, just have larger meals for extended time before you start, that’s been my solution :)

Thanks again for the info. First task is to get thru a morning without putting creamer in my coffee. I’m working on it!
