I just started IF last week. I am 35 female and have struggled with my weight all my life. Even though i dont exercise my lifestyle is quite active cos I walk a mile atleast 5 days a week. I tried going to the gym years ago and I just hated it. I tried all sorts of home workouts ie jane fonda, zumba etc but couldnt adhere to them. I have never really been one to over eat. I always skipped breakfast simply bcos I didnt like eating soon after I woke up. I usually dont get too hungry during the day either. My poison is nighttime eating. I just like eating late at night. So I was constantly feeling guilty and miserable cos I have always been told that one must eat breakfast, not eat late etc……anyway this new year I resolved I must do something about my weight cos I am sick and tired of people patronising me with comments like “aww u r so hot, but if you start going to the gym u will be on fire! Or “u r beautiful, u cud be a film star if only u were slimmer”!!!!! I mean realllyyy? Wot the eff is wrong with people???? Anyway within myself I knew I had to do somwthing cos I was a uk size 14 6 years ago and now I am a size 18. Depressing! I kept having sleepless nights cos I knew if I started going to a gym, I wont adhere, if I went on a diet it would be a disaster! Besides I felt so bitter and disgruntled cos I dont really like food that much, so why was I struggling with being over weight? What an injustice I thought! So last week I accidentally stumbled on ur blog on IF and I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was like you were sent from heaven to save me! Everything I read on IFseemed so easy for me, I knew I cud easily go 16 hrs without food. Infact I am going 18 hrs and my eating window is 6 hrs. Its just been 5 days and I already feel better and lighter, my jeans fit more comfortably and my belly looks flatter! Today a friend looked at me and asked if I have lost weight! I am over the moon! Its early days but I do hope that this works for me.i started at 82kg and I wont weigh myself till after 6 weeks! Thank u so much Mans u r a saviour!

Christian,

you bring up a great point that i see ignored or missed all too often, i’m a long-term IFer and a big-time n=1 type guy. the research i’ve found indicates that you can actually create a huge GH surge in the morning with essential amino acids. currently i use a mix of BCAAs and EAAs, but you do have to be careful of how much leucine you get at one time because it can cause an insulin response.

if you use this method, wait at least 30 minutes after the EAAs to have your coffee with butter or MCT oil (MCT oil i agree is better) and you have gotten the full GH spike.
