I Do Intermittent Fasting

I have been having health issues for ages now. I was on a health related forum and someone suggest intermittent fasting and a book called "The Obesity Code" By Dr. Jason Fung

Now I'm not a professional of any kind this is just my own personal journey towards better health.

So my weight has gotten so out of control. I've had hormonal weight gains, bad eating advice, stress eating (husband's cheating, among other things).

So right now I've started fasting 16:8 every other day. What that means, is fasting for 16 hours and eating for 8. If I finish my dinner at 9, that means the majority of my fasting is done while I'm sleeping. And I don't eat until 1 in the afternoon. I can drink black tea or water, or whatever.

In addition, I'm doing walking aerobics, belly dancing and yoga. So far so good, I'm getting results. Finally. I've had test after test after test. Doctors shaming me, scolding me. Not believing that I don't eat junk food all the time. GRRRRR

So I'm hoping to put a dent in my health/weight problems.

Is 12:12 really seen as a fast? Seems just like a normal day to me.

@Sonnet: technically I guess not but letting the gut rest for half the day is good for me. Most people I know don't really stick to that rule.

@Doomflower: that's a very good point actually, they don't. I was just curious though, I've never heard of 12:12 before just.
