I want to avoid Alzhiemer's disease and have been doing IF for several months. I still struggle with many food cravings and my weight loss has leveled off. If it werent for the additional energy I have in the morning, I would be much more discouraged.

Welcome @peter4rn, You are not alone! I've been doing intermittent fasting for a few years now and the cravings are not as bad as when I first started but I still have them when I'm waiting for my fasting window to close and eating time window to open. I think everyone who has a loved one or a friend with Alzheimer's want's to avoid the disease. Mayo Clinic has some helpful information on the topic here:
--- Alzheimer's prevention: Does it exist?: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/expert-answers/alzheimers-prevention/faq-20058140.

There's also another discussion you might find helpful:

I use the free Zero fasting app on my phone to keep track of the time and it does make it really easy to follow a timed eating plan - https://zerolongevity.com/. Have you been following a specific intermittent fasting plan?
