Newbie Question Vacation

We leave for Disney on Friday. I don’t think it’s realistic for me to IF all week. I was thinking of holding off as much as possible in the morning and then just watching what I eat. I have lost 12 lbs and I don’t wanna ruin all progress ☹️

Any suggestions?

Seeking Advice Question about fasting with anemia

6 Upvotes

I’m posting in regards to my dad because he’s been doing IF for ~a year but recently he’s been looking a bit pale and I’m wondering if he should still be doing the 16/8 method.

He’s 5’10” and currently weighs around 118lbs and he’s also anemic and has gotten iron infusions recently.

He told me he’s been recently fainting once a week normally just from exercise and he tends to be tired a lot. Our family physician told him to stop with the fasting until he stops fainting but he hasn’t stopped and I’m not sure if I should be concerned…?

It’s not really my place to tell him what to do/not do, but just looking for some general opinions on this.

If the answer is “be patient, be consistent “ i will take it.

I started 20:4 last week. Exactly one week today. I have a very filling protein shake woth berries and a ton of added stuff for breakfast plus toast. Lunch is a bowl of lentils with egg whites and cheese. I work out twice a day for 30 min.

Exactly onr week i followed this to a T. Not a single pound lost 😅.. should i be tracking calories?
