Is it common in your nation for people to follow an intermittent fasting diet?

My husband does calorie count and he has loss a lot by doing that.

16:8 fasting refers to hours which I guess is pretty obvious. I think it helped me lose weight for a while but my body seems to have adjusted now and I'm not losing weight now. However, I'm not putting any on either.

Intermittent fasting has become quite popular in America the last couple of years, and it has helped people lose weight that couldn’t seem to do it before. I have not tried it, but if it works for some people, that doesn’t surprise me. Doctors recommend different kinds of eating patterns for different people because our body types vary so much. It must be a blessing for people who have not been able to lose weight any other way. I’m positive it could not help me though. I have to have something small every four hours or I’ll get sick. The intermittent fasting most popular here is more like abstaining from eating 18 hours a day, and only eating for an available five hour window.Some people eat in even a smaller window per day.

I don't take rice or wheat on Mondays. I take smoothies, salads and food that has no rice or wheat.

Well balanced life style works for me. I like food far too much to consider this sort of thing. It certainly is not a culture where I come from.

There's days I don't eat hardly anything & there's days I just snack on fruits most the day then there's days I just don't feel like eating. I don't have any certain days I do either 1 I just eat when I want & don't track when I eat cause that's just more than I want to track, I track my sugar every 3-5 hrs a day depending on how I feel through out the day, but depending on how I feel I eat what I feel like eating.

My morning schedule has made me a late morning eater . . . I had no idea I had been intermittently fasting for the longest time . . . I wasn't doing it on purpose! I do not have weight issues, but apparently it has certain health benefits. Honestly it just works out this way for me is all.

Many people have done this. I do it myself but not as much as I used to. I usually do not eat from 7 at night til 10 am the next day.

Intermittent fasting is not for everyone and it can be very dangerous. People should never "follow trends" when it is a matter of losing weight. Doctors are there to suggest what is the best to do.

I think exercise and calorie count helps. Intermittent fasting is not that common here.

In Kenya, my people don't know about intermittent fasting.Its very rare for people to fast
