What time table do you fast and why? I am contemplating running a 16/8 fast, so 16 hours of not consuming any calories and 8 hours of consuming calories (from 10 am until 6 pm). Any tips or why I should try a different type of fasting approach? Thanks ahead of time for any words of wisdom.

We do intermittent fasting on a regular basis. We eat only two meals a day. A really good breakfast anywhere from 8 am to 10 am and the evening meal around 3 pm. I lost 30 lbs becoming a carnivore and now I add some vegetables in occasionally. I have been able to keep the weight off and keep my energy level up. I avoid at all costs sugar of any kind, processed grains, and most carbs. I am 66 and take no medications.
May I ask what kind of meats do you eat and do you cook a certain way to mix it up a little?
Mostly beef, ground meat 80%, pork ribs, pork chops, pork roasts, chicken and salmon.
Beef tenderloin or ribeyes. I cook with different seasoning but sometimes its hard to find good ones without brown sugar or msg. At least 4 to 6 eggs for breakfast
I could not eat eggs like that. I eat them once in awhile. What type of vegetables do you eat? Fresh or canned? I am gonna try to grow green beans, tomatoes and mini cucumbers. I only have a shaded balcony to work with so I can't do much. I think fresh vegetables might get a little scarce soon.
Self watering pots for a balcony would be a good choice. I avoid tomatoes. Plants unlike most herd animals produce toxins to avoid being eaten. Some toxins are good some bad. Garlic is good for parasites. Some vegetables inhibit mineral absorption.
I forgot something very important. No seed oils of any kind. They go rancid very quickly regardless how they are stored. These are really huge sources of inflammation.
Thank you. I have heard seed oils are not good. They say balsamic is ok. I found a balsamic glaze that is very good. I cut up tomatoes and cucumbers and put it on. I could eat every day.
