Eating 1200 cals a day and still overweight

John, I looked at your info. So glad its brought you success! It appears you’ve been doing this (intermittent fasting) a while. I am considering how it will fit into my schedule, considering my type I diabetes. I have an excellent pump, so that will help. I know other people with diabetes do it. I normally have a small mid morning breakfast, then dinner. I have an evening liquid snack that I count as my third meal. So…..I’m trying to figure out my best option for 20/4. Did you notice anyone who did the 20/4 a couple of days a week or should it be consistent everyday?

I don't think it needs to be consistent. A lot of times I will change a 20/4 fast to an 18/6 or 16/8 the next day if something comes up and I need to change my eating plans for the day. I do weigh myself every morning and if I see the weight starting to creep up a little then I do a couple of days of the 20/4 or a little longer if possible. The Zero app makes it easy to track the time. I think the trick is working out some sort of schedule that fits your activity/daily routine but giving yourself some leeway.
