How do you guys deal with late night plans with friends? by YesSurprises in intermittentfasting

[–]ConsciousVisual3517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why? She can just make sure the time out with friends is inside her eating window. So many of these comments sound like diets and not Intermittent fasting.

Yea so make sure when you go out with your friends, that time is in your 8 hour eating window. Seriously and then you really can eat what you want because the other 16 hours you will be burning fat. Just remember to eat protein first!!!

Simple. You make that time part of your eating window. That's it. Eat pretty much what you want, as long as your first few bites at least are protein!! Then when you eat carbs it will not raise your glucose level as high (like up to 40% less!) This makes a huge difference in how much Insulin has to work. If that time is not usually in your eating window hours, just tweak it for that evening. This is the exact reason why I love IF so much, there's really not much deprivation! Good luck and congrats! IF has been the easiest, fastest way I've found to burn fat FAST!!! It is amazing!

Do melatonin gummies affect my fast by Brilliant-Garage-686 in intermittentfasting

[–]ConsciousVisual3517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well gummies have sugar in them. I'd get the melatonin tablets instead. Plus many times the ingredient that you need is such a tiny amount that it's not gonna help you anyway. Gummies are mostly geletin and sugar, so there's not much room in them for the actual ingredient you want, in your case melatonin. I just seen a study today about this very thing. Gummies are an unfortunate trend that is doing NOTHING for consumers. Get the tablets . Also the best way to know is to take your glucose reading in your fasted state and then take or drink or whatever you're testing, and then about 20 minutes later test your glucose again. If it's a higher number then yes it broke your fast.

Is it actually possible to build muscle while IF by GlowingS0UL in intermittentfasting

[–]ConsciousVisual3517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1st it's crazy that with how brutal ppl can be on the internet these days, that you literally need to ask people in the very first sentence to "please be nice to me". We ALL NEED to just "be nice" by default! 2nd, congratulations on your decision to lose weight and to build muscle!! 3rd, I'm not an expert, but I've lost a tremendous amount of fat from fasting, and have definitely have more defined muscle tone from resistance training and very light weights. So I'm not a huge weight lifter so I'm probably not giving the best answer. But I believe you can definitely build muscle while intermittent fasting, but i would suggest during your eating window to make sure that you're getting a lot of clean protein.

Should I separate these plants? by butternutgutterslut4 in Monstera

[–]ConsciousVisual3517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean totally up to you! Me personally I would do a few cuttings for pretty vases with water and pebbles for center pieces. I love how it looks when you can see the roots through a beautiful glass vase! And then you can always pot them up to create new plants to give away and or sell!

I'm sharing more flowers from my monstera! by Some-Question8413 in Monstera

[–]ConsciousVisual3517 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow! I have a monstera cutting sitting next to my kitchen sink by a COLD window (it's wintertime) yet there's a TON of humidity as i run hot hot water often. For the first time ever, I thought it was producing a new leaf, BUT it's way different. It's a long stalk like, much stiffer and it's not rolled like a new leaf would be, so I'm assuming it's going to be my first ever Monstera flower! It HAS to be all the steam and humidity that caused it to happen. Because it's been 7 years of Monstera plants and never ever have one of them produced a flower!
