How many hours should I be fasting if I follow time-restricted eating?

[pomera]

Looking to get into fasting and try it out. I would like to follow some time-restricted eating protocols and intermittent fasting. How many hours would you recommend that I fast every day? I've seen numbers from doing one meal a day and fasting for 23 hours and I've seen people recommending eight hours of feeding. Do you think that the real truth is somewhere in between?

I think you should keep your eating window around four to five hours. That's a good protocol to follow and anyone can do it.

I'm not a big fan of fasting myself. I don't really believe in it but a lot of people get good results from it.

Bros, try some 24- or 36-hour fast here and there. It goes a long way. Fasting is definitely something that's natural and something you can do.

I love me some fasting. I would eat in a two- to four-hour window. That is a good option for you.

Make sure that you fast here and there. Have a plan in place. You can play it by ear and go hour by hour.
