Has anyone started a fast after breakfast?

I’m wondering if anyone has tried fasting from breakfast to breakfast instead of dinner to dinner?

Hi and welcome!

Basically, you can schedule your fasts in the following ways:

1)   You can eat as you usually do until 6 p.m. on day one, and then don’t eat until 6 p.m. the next day. This is a good time to take a break from eating if you already follow the “don’t eat after 6 p.m.” rule.

For instance, try to stop eating on Wednesday at 6 p.m., and finish your fast on Thursday at 6 p.m. This means you don’t eat anything right after dinner on Wednesday, have a sleep, then skip breakfast and lunch, and finally eat your dinner on Thursday after 6 p.m.

2)   If the first schedule doesn’t fit your personal lifestyle, experiment with a 2 p.m. to 2 p.m. time frame. The logiс is the same, start a fast after you eat your lunch on day one, and expand it until lunch on day two.

3)   Do you like or cannot skip breakfast? Then start your fast right after breakfast. If you have breakfast by 8 a.m., go without food from 8 a.m. until 8 a.m. the following day. Scheduling your breaks from eating this way will make your fasts much easier to perform because technically you will not go without food the entire day. You will eat every single day of the week while being able to do a 24-hour period of fasting.

Hope it helps!

I tried that once – I hated it! I find that I get the hungriest in the middle of my fasts, so I prefer to be sleeping then.

The only way to know is to try. It might work for you. If you are busy or you work at dinner time you might not notice it. I think some here have gone from lunch to lunch.

The only thing I’ve noticed that is hard with that is sometimes you wake up early and can’t get back to sleep. If you read ESE Brad talks about the body creating HGH from hours 15-24 and this can cause more alertness. You can give it a try but if you find you can’t sleep early in the morning you will know why.

This is the one I always do. I find that I don’t overeat near as much doing this one. I am trying a breakfast to dinner fast this week, just to see if I can without bingeing at dinner.
