Was tun, wenn beim Intervallfasten die Waage spinnt?

Vielleicht kennst du das…

…Du hast gerade voll motiviert mit Intervallfasten gestartet, dich durch die erste Woche gekämpft. Du hast gespürt, wie die Umstellung Energie gekostet hat und dann stellst du dich auf die Waage, siehst die Zahl und denkst „OH NEIN“.

… Oder du bist gerade schon etwas länger dabei, du hast zu Beginn gute Erfolge gehabt, die Pfunde sind gepurzelt, es ging super voran und auf einmal merkst du, dass sich auf der Waage irgendwie nichts mehr tut.

Das sind zwei Szenarien, die viel BodyFaster erleben, wenn sie sich auf die Reise machen. Vielleicht gehörst du auch dazu. Wir sagen dir: Atme einmal tief durch. Das kann und muss erst mal gar nichts bedeuten. Vor allem nicht, dass die Intervallfasten-Methode für dich keinen Sinn macht oder sie ausgerechnet bei dir nicht funktioniert.

HIER EINE WICHTIGE INFO ÜBER DAS INTERVALLFASTEN:

Intervallfasten kann für den Körper eine große Umstellung sein. Das bedeutet, dass der Körper manchmal eben Zeit braucht, um sich dran zu gewöhnen. Das kann öfters mal 2 Wochen oder sogar länger dauern, bis erste Erfolge überhaupt messbar sind. So doof es klingen mag und so ungern du das wahrscheinlich hörst: Geduld lautet die Devise.

Was kannst du also konkret tun, wenn du merkst, dass nichts (mehr) auf der Waage passiert?

1. SCHRITT: UMDENKEN

Das Gewicht ist zwar ein Indikator für den Körper bzw. eine Veränderung, aber eben nicht mehr. Dein Selbstvertrauen und dein Selbstbild sollten nicht einfach von einer Zahl abhängen, oder? Du bist viel viel mehr als das! Und vor allem bist du eines – auf deinem Weg, es anders zu machen als bei allen anderen Diäten zuvor.

Also wenn du auf die Waage steigst, mache dir bewusst, dass du auf der Anzeige genau das siehst, was es ist: NUR EINE ZAHL.

2. DER ZEITPUNKT

Es ist wichtig, dass du dich immer zur selben Zeit und/oder unter den selben Voraussetzungen wiegst. Denn selbst eine Mahlzeit mehr im Tagesverlauf kann im Vergleich zur anderen Messzeit große Unterschiede auf der Waage verursachen.

Dazu haben vor allem Frauen immer wieder mit kurzfristigen Wassereinlagerungen zu kämpfen. Das liegt vor allem am weiblichen Zyklus. Das heißt konkret, dass vorübergehende Schwankungen beim Gewicht nicht der Beweis sind, dass etwas nicht funktioniert – sondern genau das Gegenteil: Nämlich dass der Körper in einem dynamischen Prozess ist, wie eine kleine Wellenbewegung mit Tendenz nach unten.

3. DER DRUCK

Wenn dich der Schritt auf die Waage jedes Mal wieder aufs Neue stresst, dann beschränke die Häufigkeit des Wiegens auf einmal pro Woche. Der Dauerstress kann nämlich dazu führen, dass der Körper rebelliert und dein Stoffwechsel sogar hormonbedingt stoppen kann.

Unser Tipp: Mach es dir einfacher, nicht schwerer. Wiege dich nicht täglich und verbessere dein Stressmanagement gleich mal hier, mit einem anderen Bewusstsein beim Schritt auf die Waage.

WAS TUN, WENN DIE WAAGE LÜGT?

Wenn die Waage keine Veränderung zeigt, kann das auch ganz andere Gründe haben. Vielleicht verändert sich gerade deine Körperzusammensetzung und du gewinnst an Muskeln (die übrigens wieder mehr Fett verbrennen – aber das ist ein anderes Thema)?
Wir hören immer wieder von BodyFastern, dass einerseits das Gewicht auf der Waage zwar nicht weniger wird, aber dennoch z.B. die Hose deutlich lockerer sitzt und man auch im Spiegel Veränderungen sieht.

Wir merken uns: Das Gewicht ist NUR EIN Weg, um den Fortschritt zu messen.

GIBT ES SINNVOLLE ERGÄNZUNGEN?

Nun, manche Körperwaagen zeigen auch den Körperfettanteil an. Das ist eine gute Ergänzung. Leider sind die Werte nur bei qualitativ hochwertigeren Waagen wirklich genau – dazu beeinflusst oft die Flüssigkeitsaufnahme den Wert. Also bitte mit Vorsicht genießen!

Eine andere Idee: Hast du schon einmal den Umfang an verschiedenen Körperteilen und regelmäßig die Veränderungen gemessen? Diese Art des Messens ist manchmal sogar aussagekräftiger als das Gewicht, vorausgesetzt man weiß, wie man richtig misst.

In der BodyFast-App kannst du die Messwerte deiner relevanten Körperumfänge verfolgen! So behältst du deinen wirklichen Fortschritt im Blick!

        Hi Nita, we would recommend that you eat more food which contains a lot of fibers like whole wheat products. This can help with digestion. For quick help we would recommend flaxseed or psyllium husks. Each 2-3 teaspoons taken with plenty of water can often provide a quick remedy. You can also have a look at our SOS function in the app if you have the Coach. If your issues continue, we would recommend talking to your doctor about that. We wish you all the best! 😊

    Im fasting between 8 pm – 12 pm. I feel as though I NEED my morning coffee though. And I have to have cream and sugar! What do I do?? I have 10 oz of codfee every morning with about 4 tbsp half n half and 2 tablespoons sugar. If I do this ONE bad thing during fasting, how will it effect my success?

    • Stefan Müller Antworten

      Hi Karen, thanks for your comment.

      We don’t recommend putting anything in your coffee. Because by doing so you will break your fast.

      Especially for your transition to the (fat-) metabolism and the health benefits of the autophagy effect it is important to give your system time to rest.

      By consuming calories during your fasting window, you also make it much harder for you mentally, because your body gets teased with energy. Your overall success will suffer, too.

      Our tip💡Find a great fruity filter coffee, switch to tea or simply drink your coffee with milk during your eating window.

      Hope it helps, all the best!

      • Gisela Hurt Antworten

        For about a decade I have been drinking a tall glass of water with a fresh squeezed lemon, 1/2 tsp of turmeric, and black pepper first thing in the morning. Can I keep doing this or would I be breaking my fast?

        • Valerie Dratwa Antworten

          Hello Gisela,
          During your fasting periods please only have pure water, tea and coffee without milk, sugar or sweeteners, as otherwise the autophagy process will be stopped. So when you add lemon, turmeric and pepper to your water, it will break your fast.
          Hopefully this will help you! 🙂

        • Christian Mall Antworten

          Hi Toni, you should always prioritise your health above all else. So we recommend following your doctor’s advice when it comes to taking your medicine. Maybe you can talk to your doctor and see how you can best integrate intermittent fasting into your lifestyle 😊

    I am with you Karen! I have to be up around 4 am and so I need the coffee, but I can’t drink it black! Have no clue how I can get this fasting to work for me. I can handle not eating for 16 hours, but not have coffee . . . That’s a big problem!

    • Svenja Taubert Antworten

      Hi Chantel, thanks for your comment. You might try to get used to black coffee although it might be hard at the beginning. Furthermore, you might try alternatives that also contain caffeine like for example black tea.

        Is it forbidden to sweeten my tea with Splenda or some type of artificial sweetener?
        How about Crystal Light in my water? Fruit flavored carbonated water?

        • Jenny M. Antworten

          Hello Pamela,
          We recommend to avoid sweeteners and supplements of any kind in your drinks during fasting.
          Even if they are non-caloric they might affect your insulin level which breaks your fast and all positive metabolic processes coming with it.
          Happy BodyFasting 🙂

            Hello
            My understanding is that anything below 50 cal during the fasting period is ok- so I have been using a little almond milk in my coffee…

          • Jenny M.

            Even the smallest amounts of food can break your fast. There is a lack of studies for the often cited 30-50 calories that should supposedly be consumed during the fasting period.

            If you want to be on the safe side, try to do without it 😉

          • Jenny M.

            Hallo Lucie und willkommen bei BodyFast!

            Grundsätzlich geht es beim Intervallfasten erst einmal nur um die Zeit, in der du isst. Es gibt keine Verbote.
            Wie du dein Essen im Essensfenster gestaltet, bleibt also dir überlassen. IF wird dir aber helfen, Stück für Stück alte Routinen zu erkennen und neue, gesunde Gewohnheiten aufzubauen. Versuche, auf deinen Körper zu hören. Er wird dir sagen, was du brauchst und was nicht.

            Tritt auch gerne unserer Facebook Gruppe bei, dort findest du viele hilfsbereite Mitglieder und ein paar Inspirationen zum Nachkochen 😉

            Alles Gute für dich!

          • Britta

            Da Intervallfasten zu deinem Alltag gehören sollte, empfehlen wir dir, auf deinen Körper zu hören und darauf zu achten, welche Lebensmittel sich nach einem Fasten gut anfühlen und welche nicht.

            Normalerweise kannst du nach einer Fastenzeit essen, was immer du willst. Aber es ist auch wichtig, auf den Unterschied in deinem Körper, dein Energieniveau und auch in deine Stimmung nach bestimmten Arten von Nahrungsmitteln zu achten. Wir empfehlen außerdem, ein Ernährungstagebuch zu führen, in dem du notieren kannst, wie du dich nach bestimmten Mahlzeiten gefühlt hast (Energiegehalt, Verdauung, Stimmung, etc.).

    Hallo! Ich mache seit mittlerweile 10 Wochen diese Diät, davon 5 Wochen sogar nur mehr 17/7! Der Erfolg auf der Waage ist leider sehr ernüchternd : 2 kg. Wobei ich sagen muss, dass ich an meiner Kleidung sehr wohl einen deutlichen Unterschied merke. Wie lange wird /kann es noch dauern, bis auch bei mir endlich die Kilos purzeln? Is etwas deprimierend, wenn eine Freundin dasselbe Ergebnis in nur einer Woche schafft.

    • Stefan Müller Antworten

      Hi Melanie,
      Intervallfasten ist keine Diät, sondern nur ein anderer Ernährungsstil. Und der funktioniert offenbar gut bei dir! Denn die Zahl auf der Waage sagt allein wenig aus, der Umfang zählt! Und da scheint sich dein Körper schon schön verändert zu haben. Bleib’ bei dir, schau auf dich und hab etwas Geduld. Es läuft ja, oder?

  4. Cheryl Evans Antworten

    I truly didn’t think I could give up my morning coffee. But I made a commitment to myself on Jan 1 to give 100% to improving my health and I gave myself a timeline to accomplish this. One year. The first week on Bodyfast was fairly easy. I pushed my coffee back 2 hours and I was fine with that. The second week was more challenging but I kept the faith and followed through on my commitment to better health. I did miss my coffee, I won’t lie, but I didn’t break my fast in order to have it. Instead I had black tea. This is my third week. And the challenge is stronger. Again I’m keeping the faith. This week I’m feeling the hunger and not for coffee. I want food. Lol. The best part is I’m learning what hunger really is and when/how my body tells me I’m hungry. Giving up morning coffee is no longer a big deal. Yea. Victory. And I enjoy my single cuppa so much more. It’s now more a treat then a necessity. Looking forward to next week’s challenges.

Regarding your questions: During the fasting period, water (still or carbonated), tea (non-flavored herbal teas), and coffee (black) without any additives are allowed.

      Hi Vicky, thanks for your comment.

      It often takes a few days or weeks until your body gets used to the new way of eating. Therefore, it may happen that you don’t achieve positive results immediatly.

      The following tips might be helpful to achieve the desired results:

      + Pay attention to what you eat in your meal times. What do you tolerate, which foods give you a good feeling, which don’t? Change your meal plans according to those feelings.
      + If you have not lost weight, you should extend your fasting times or fast more frequently. That’s exactly what our Coach does: he suggests fasting plans that fit your personal needs and goals.
      + Intermittent Fasting is non of these “miracle diets” that are known to cause yo-yo effects. IF is a long-term change in your diet. So it may take a few weeks to achieve a greater weight loss.
      + In the meal times you should not eat more than usually.
      + Fighting cravings is often not easy, but it’s a good idea to stay active, go for a walk, and drink plenty of water (preferably two glasses).
      + You should reduce your sugar intake and avoid sweeteners – this will also reduce the risk of hunger attacks.
      + Last but not least: Workouts are a miracle weapon. Try to include workout units in your daily life. This will additionally boost fat burning.

      Kind regards, your BodyFast-Team

    The above tip was very helpful, thank you. I love intermittent fasting, I too see weight loss, well it’s up and down. I too have issues about sweets, love ice cream but being in my fifties it doesn’t love me back. I will as well try to follow a little more restricted routine and eliminate sugar, slowly of course. I only wish is that this bodyfast app could give better fasting plans for people like myself who can’t afford to pay for the coach. I have searched other apps to but this app has the best fasting periods. I am thankful for what free advise and plans that are in this app. Maybe you guys could throw in a few more. Once again thanks for bodyfast.

        Hello! Im new to IF. This is week 4 and I am struggling this week. Crazy sugar cravings (week before my cycle). Any tips on fasting and menstrual cravings?

        • Svenja Taubert Antworten

          Hi Tina, try to have protein-rich meals that are high in fibre, for example scrambled eggs with veggies and avocado. Having protein and fat will leave you satiated and energized, and a lot less likely to crave sweets later. Two tablespoons of ground flax seeds (which are high in fibre) a day consumed with plenty of water might also reduce your cravings. 🙂

    • Svenja Taubert Antworten

      Hi Ethel, thanks for your comment.
      The app download is free. Only the Coach subscription will have a monthly fee involved. You’ll find the pricing for your region in the app in the Coach tab before purchasing. The app pricing varies depending on the plan you choose (3/6/12 months).

      The app has a lot of free features, more than most other fasting apps:

      + Choose from 10 different fasting plans like 5-2 or 16-8
      + A fasting timer to track your fasting
      + Multiple notification options to stay on track with your fasting times
      + Track your weight and add notes
      + Detailed statistics on your weight progress, BMI and the way to your goal
      + A large knowledge library about fasting, eating periods and weight loss

      You can always first try the free features and then go for the more effective way of the Coach later. You can find the exact prices for our Coach subscriptions directly in the app in the Coach-tab.

      In the eating periods you can basically eat what you want. This is also the advantage BodyFast has over other weight loss methods. You do not have to count calories or change your meals.

      Instead of counting calories or following specific diet plans, we recommend a simple rule of thumb that will help you develop a natural sense of moderate and healthy portion sizes:

      + One full-size portion of protein-containing foods (meat, eggs, dairy, etc.) and a fist-sized portion of vegetables at each meal.
      + For most meals, a hollow hand full of carbohydrates (pasta, rice, fruits) and a thumb-sized portion of fatty foods like butter, oil, and nuts.
      These figures apply to women, men double the amount.
      Of course, intermittent fasting can also be combined with other diets such as low-carb or ketogenic, ie carbohydrate-limited diet.

      • Alessandra Antworten

        Buongiorno a tutti… Sono alla terza settimana di digiuno con coach e non ho perso un grammo nonostante segua attentamente gli orari di digiuno.. Cosa posso fare per poter vedere scendere almeno un po’ questo peso?

        • Svenja Taubert Antworten

          Ciao Alessandra,

          spesso il corpo impiega alcune settimane per adattarsi alla nuova abitudine alimentare del digiuno intermittente. Pertanto, non si può perdere peso nelle prime settimane. Questo varia da persona a persona.
          Non dubitare di te stesso e non arrenderti!

          Ho dei consigli per te:

          + Se non hai perso peso, dovresti considerare di prolungare le ore di digiuno o di digiuno più spesso. Questo è ciò che fa il nostro Allenatore, che adatta i suoi piani di digiuno in base ai suoi obiettivi e ai suoi progressi. Ma è anche possibile scegliere manualmente un piano settimanale diverso.
          + Il digiuno intermittente non è una “dieta miracolosa” che spesso produce un effetto yo-yo. È un cambiamento a lungo termine nelle vostre abitudini alimentari. Ecco perché la perdita di peso può richiedere un po’ di tempo.
          + Nei periodi in cui si mangia non si dovrebbe mangiare troppo – o mangiare più di quanto si mangia normalmente senza digiuno.
          + Se hai un forte desiderio di cibo: rimani attivo, vai a fare una passeggiata, incontra gli amici e bevi molta acqua (si consiglia di bere due bicchieri).
          + Anche lo zucchero e le bevande zuccherate dovrebbero essere evitate durante i pasti. Se si vuole davvero mangiare lo zucchero, poi direttamente dopo un pasto più grande, per lasciare che lo zucchero nel sangue sia regolato meglio. Questo riduce anche la fame durante i periodi di digiuno.
          + Anche gli sport sono buoni! Cercate di muovervi a digiuno perché è molto efficace per quanto riguarda la combustione dei grassi! Ma, per favore, fate attenzione, perche’ il vostro livello di energia potrebbe essere piu’ basso.

          A parte questo, per favore non concentrarsi troppo sul numero che vedete sulla scala. Il tuo peso corporeo da solo non è significativo e adeguato per seguire il tuo successo.
          + Per esempio, potrebbero essere cambiamenti rispetto alla vostra casa dell’acqua che indicano un aumento di peso (anche se avete perso grasso).
          + Inoltre, i formatori guadagnano muscoli e perdono grasso allo stesso tempo. Poiché i muscoli sono più pesanti del grasso, vedrete un certo numero di scalate anche se avete perso grasso.
          + Misurare fianchi, vita e cosce, inserire i numeri nelle statistiche dell’applicazione e tracciarli nel tempo. Questi numeri sono molto più significativi in quanto ti mostrano se e dove hai perso grasso.

          Spero di potervi aiutare un po’. Andate a credere in te stesso!

    Good day! I have been on Body Fast for 25+- weeks., I have lost a lot of cm and very little weight on the scale. I need to take meds in the mornings set time. I can’t take it on my empty tummy and been breaking my fast with a fruit/dried fruit(half apple or 2 dried peaches or quarter banana) I’ve been fine maybe it slowed down my weight loss

    • Svenja Taubert Antworten

      Hi Gwen, thanks for your comment.
      If possible, take your medicine during your eating periods, as otherwise your fasting period will be interrupted. If this is not possible, for example, because the medicine hast to be taken at a fixed time, then we advise taking your pills despite fasting, even if the autophagy process might be stopped by doing so. You’re on the right way 🙂

    Hallo! Ich suche die 50 Fastenpläne, welche der Coach vorschlägt? Bin noch ein Neuling mit vielen Fragen. In meiner 1. Fastenwoche habe ich einen ganzen Esstag, muss ich den einhalten? Liebe Grüße! Elisabeth

    • Svenja Taubert Antworten

      Hallo Elisabeth,

      vielen Dank für deine Anfrage!

      Wenn du statt einer variablen, für dich berechneten Coach-Woche lieber einen Standardplan verfolgen möchtest, ist das gar kein Problem.

      + Statt eine Coach-Woche zu starten (großer orangener Button im Fasten-Tab), wählst du einen der grünen großen Buttons darunter.
      + Beim ersten Button findest du Standard-Pläne wie 16-8 und 5-2.
      + Bei den anderen Buttons findest du viele verschiedene andere Pläne, die du ausprobieren kannst. Einige haben den Fokus “Gewicht verlieren”, andere den Fokus “Gesundheit”, also Entgiftung und Zellreparatur.
      + Als Coach-Abonnent werden dir auch bei manuell gewählten Plänen individuelle Challenges vorgeschlagen, die du nach Wunsch auch austauschen kannst.

      Hinweis: Bitte beachte, dass du deine aktuelle Coach-Woche abbrechen oder ablaufen lassen musst, um die Planübersicht sehen zu können.

      Ob du den fastenfreien Tag im Fastenplan einhältst, ist dir überlassen. Wenn du eine Fastenperiode einlegen möchtest, ist das kein Problem.
      ​Höre aber bitte auf deinen Körper. Solltest du dich dabei nicht wohlfühlen, dann unterbrich die zusätzliche Fastenperiode bitte.

      Liebe Grüße, dein BodyFast-Team

    • Svenja Taubert Antworten

      Hi, thanks for your request.
      During your fasting periods please only have pure water, tea and coffee without milk, lemon juice, sugar or sweeteners, as otherwise the autophagy process will be stopped.
      During your eating times you can have whatever you like even though we warmly recommend a healthy diet and lifestyle!
      Kind regards, your BodyFast-Team

    Hi I have been intermittent fasting for about 3 weeks now, but without the app or a coach. I feel better, but I’ve not lost any weight although feel my measurements are less..

    I struggle ALOT with constipation and think that weight loss is restricted as a result. Reading the comments have given me so many ideas about possible challenges and benefits to the plan, especially some of the potential causes of my limited results (water enhancers, li get periods of fasting, etc.).

    I just added the APP and the COACH in hopes of increasing results.

    • Jenny M. Antworten

      Hello Joyce and welcome to BodyFast!
      In the first instance, intermittent fasting means stress for your body until it gets used to the changes.
      This might affect results in the short term but you will most probably be successful in the long run.
      It is great to hear that the comments here were helpful to you. We can also warmly recommend to follow our Instagram channel and join our Facebook group for more motivation and inspiration.

        • Jenny M. Antworten

          Hello Rita,
          There are very little scales which can reliably determine the fat percentage.
          The best thing would be to have such statistics monitored professionally.
          In addition, we recommend that you take your body measurements and compare them over time.
          There is also a blog article dealing with this topic 😉

    I have just started with BodyFast. It’s day 1. Are there any side effects, like headache, or the shakes,etc…. that will come about due to the body having a significant change? Also what is the average amount of what loss, that can be expected over a 3 month period

    • Jenny M. Antworten

      Hi Amy and welcome to BodyFasting 🙂

      Like every change, intermittent fasting initially means stress for your body. Until it gets used to the change, it can initially react with discomfort, headaches, circulatory problems or the like.
      Pay close attention to your body. If you do not notice any improvement, please stop and talk to your doctor about it.

      There is no such average as each person and body reacts differently to the changes coming with intermittent fasting. Some need weeks or even months to see results (at least on the scales), others lose weight quickly which can also be consequence of water fluctuation. The most important thing is to feel good with IF and to not focus to much on the numbers. We recommend to also take other body measurements and track them over time.

      Happy fasting!

    Thank you so much for this page, an eye opener! I started my fast almost three weeks ago, with minimal weight loss. Reading the above made me realize where I was going wrong; I was drinking my coffee with cream! Which automatically breaks my fast!
    I will follow the app then add a coach once I am into it.
    I also had surgery which prevented me from exercising or walking – should be ready soon for that though. How important is the exercise?

    Does adding sugar free syrups to your coffee break your fast? I am looking at the Monin and Torani brand and they have zero calories…so wondering if one serving will break my fast?

      Hi Jeremy,
      We recommend to avoid these syrups even if they have zero calories as they might nevertheless affect your insulin level which breaks your fast.

    I’m in week 8 and my weight keeps fluctuating up and down but never under where I started. I don’t see any change.
    The last time I did intermittent fasting (on my own) I lost 17lbs in 4 weeks. What am I doing wrong?????

    • Quirin Salomon Antworten

      Hi Nina,

      Thank you for your question!

      We have a few tips for you:

      + If you didn’t lose weight, you should consider prolonging your fasting hours or fasting more often. That’s what our Coach does – he adjusts your fasting plans according to your goals and progress. But you can also choose a different week plan manually.
      + Intermittent fasting is no fast “wonder diet” which often leads to a yo-yo effect. It is a long-term change of your eating habits. That’s why weight loss can take some time.
      + In the eating periods you shouldn’t overeat – or eat more than you would usually eat without fasting.
      + If you have acute food cravings: stay active, go for a walk, meet friends and drink lots of water (two glasses are recommended).
      + You should avoid sugar and sweetened drinks also in the eating periods. If you really want to eat sugar, then directly after a larger meal, to let your blood sugar regulate itself better. This also reduces the hunger during fasting periods.
      + Sports are fine as well! Try to move while your fasting as this is very efficient with regard to fat burn! But please take care of yourself because your energy level might be lower.

      On top of that please do not focus too much on the number you see on the scales. Your body weight alone is not meaningful and adequate to track your success.
      + It could for example be changes with regard your water household that indicate a weight gain (even if you lost fat).
      + Additionally, training people gain muscles and loose fat at the same time. As muscles are heavier than fat you will see a climbing number on the scales even though you lost fat.
      + Measure your hips, waist and thighs, enter the figures in the app statistics and track them over time. These numbers are much more meaningful as they show you if and where you lost fat.

      We hope this helps you!

      Kind regards,

      Your BodyFast team

    Hello,

    I am getting different responses to coffee’s that are roasted differently. There is a hazelnut bean roasted but nothing added, is this permissible? I have read many opinions and not sure who to believe. I am currently using unsweetened almond milk in my coffee as I to hate black coffee. Thanks in advance. I am down 23+ lbs since August 24th. It works if you stay with it.

    In response to another post. I have noticed that my meals the night before really do change my weight in the morning. If you eat salty food, expect to have the water that you are drinking stay with you the next day. Keep with the water and the fasting and you will see the results.

    Thanks Again.
    Mike

    • Jenny M. Antworten

      Hi Mike,

      We recommend to stay with pure coffee as any additives might influence your insulin level and therefore break your fast.
      The way of roasting the beans should not show different effects but only influence the taste which might be good for those looking for an alternative to their current coffee in order to do without milk, sugar etc. Some BodyFasters also report that a shot of cold water helps them to improve the taste.

      As to your comment regarding the effects of food on the scales: You are totally right on this!
      This is why we recommend to not weigh yourself daily but only once a week to not get stressed out by the fluctuations caused by the water balance.

      All the best for you!

    My first week and am doing well ! I have had coffee with sweetener but will stop tomorrow knowing it actually breaking my fast ! Tea until 10 o clock ! Question are you suppose to actually skip a meal or try snd eat three meals per day ! Since 10 is the time to break fast is it considered lunch and follow with dinner prior to 6? Am not exercising yet but will start after two weeks ! I want to get my body use to plan first !

    • Jenny M. Antworten

      Hi Kathy,

      Welcome to BodyFast! Good decision to do without sweeteners 😉

      As to your question: There is no rule or best advice. If you are doing IF for weight loss reasons it might help skipping a meal to automatically generate a calorie deficit. But it also depends on your portion sizes and overall diet. If you eat two to three healthy meals a day without snacking in between you might also see positive effects. Simply try out what works best for you, your body will tell you what it needs.

      All the best for your journey!

    Hallo,
    Ich habe mich für 16:8 entschieden und mach das nun seit ca 1 Woche, ich verzichte morgens auf meinen Kaffee mit Milch, trinke nur eine Tasse schwarztee, allerdings habe ich die Angewohnheit immer wieder Kaugummis über den Tag verteilt zu kauen. Allerdings ausschließlich whitleys extra mit xylit. Ist das während des Fastens erlaubt?

    • Quirin Salomon Antworten

      Hallo Nancy,

      danke für deine Frage zum Thema Kaugummis!

      + Kaugummis enthalten sehr viele synthetische Stoffe, sodass sie dem Sinn einer Heilfastenkur widersprechen. Schließlich willst du ja mit dem Fasten deinen Körper entlasten, entschlacken, entgiften und reinigen. Da ist es wenig sinnvoll, unnatürlichen Stoffe aufzunehmen, die dann auch noch obendrein freie Bahn haben, um ihr Unwesen zu treiben, weil keine anderen Nahrungsmittel sie dabei stören.

      + Ob Kaugummis eher den Appetit anregen oder mindern, ist noch nicht endgültig geklärt. Es gibt Hinweise in beide Richtungen. Das kannst du einfach auch selbst mal für dich testen.

    Hello! Day one started for me about an hour ago. I have tried every other diet there is! I hope this will work for me. I’m awful at changing the types of food I eat, but can skip meals without any problem. Wish me luck!

    • Britta Antworten

      Hello Angie! We are sure that you will fix it. I put together a couple of questions that many people have in the beginning:

      1) Which plan to pick?
      Have an easy start! It is important to give your body time to adjust to the new rhythm. If you are a beginner you could start with one of the easier plans like 16-8, 5-2 etc. (The difficulty level is also indicated by the dots). The Coach will also automatically make the first weeks easier to let your body adjust to the fasting.

      2) How do you endure the hunger?
      Many people think that intermittent fasting will result in an extreme hunger which is difficult to cope with. But actually, in our surplus society, we only know the bad feeling of falling insulin levels in your blood, a few hours after a meal rich in carbohydrates. The result is a strong feeling of hunger, often interconnected with a bad mood. There is a different feeling of hunger, which starts slowly with the emptying of our energy reserves. The body starts to be more balanced and flexible and does not scream “hunger” in every longer period without a meal. You are more “clear” and experience your body in a more natural way. You get in the “mood” for eating and will be even more satisfied after your meal. That’s the natural feeling of hunger which your body learns again with intermittent fasting.

      3) What should you do when acute hunger strikes?
      Start an activity that you like, listen to music, go for a walk, meet a friend. Even bigger than your current hunger will be your pride when you have overcome it for the first time.

      I hope these few tips will help you getting started 🙂

    I’m reading about the challenges people have with their morning coffee. A few decades ago, after drinking coffee with sugar and milk, I forced myself to drink black coffee to power through the night shifts I was working. Within a few days, black coffee became tasty and, dare I say, addicting. There are really tasty coffees available. Once you train your taste buds to appreciate the delicate flavors, you can’t go back. I start gagging if I accidentally drink coffee with sugar or milk. I’m glad I’m able to drink coffee during the challenging morning hours while fasting. It also primes me for exercising.

  29. Pam Brockus Antworten

    I’ve been using a different app, but it doesn’t show my beginning and current weight. I like to see progress (yes, I am one of those…number checker). I had a question though. With a calorie restrictive diet, we all know that it’s not the best long term for a person…however. When we are IF, aren’t we lowering, (restricting) calories?? I’m confused as if I were to tell myself, on a calorie restrictive diet, that I can only have 1200 -1500 calories a day…it seems that metabolic slowdown is occurring. BUT… when I IF… I’m still getting just about that many calories… just during a particular frame of time (16:8). Can you please help me with that thought process? I’m going to give your app a try. Thanks! Pam

    • Jenny M. Antworten

      Hi Pam,

      You are certainly right that IF helps in limiting calorie intake automatically by skipping meals. But it also gives you a more natural feeling of hunger and for your body in general. This will help you listing to yourself more carefully and you automatically develop healthy habits. This will allow you to make IF your new lifestyle 🙂

      All the best for your journey!

      Versuche außerdem, dich nicht zu sehr auf die Zahl zu konzentrieren, die dir die Waage anzeigt. Das Gewicht ist nämlich genau genommen keine gute Maßzahl, um die Erfolge darzustellen: Zum Beispiel können vorübergehende Wassereinlagerungen dafür verantwortlich sein, dass du laut Wage zugenommen hast, obwohl du in Wirklichkeit Fett verloren hast.
      Oder dass Menschen, die Sport treiben, Muskeln aufbauen und gleichzeitig Fett verlieren. Da Muskeln schwerer sind als Fett, zeigt dir die Wage dann an, dass du nicht abgenommen hast, obwohl der Körperfettanteil gesunken ist.

      Bleib einfach dran und sei nicht zu hart zu dir selbst! 🙂

    Hi, I have just started Body Fast and am in my second week. The fasting part is going well. Getting in all the water is a challenge for me. I cannot have caffeine, black or green tea, or spicy foods. Can I drink flavored teas like ginger lemon or does the flavoring break the fast?

      Hi Diann, drinking enough water is very important during intermittent fasting. Regarding drinking teas we only recommend drinking herbal teas and green/black tea without any additives, fruits, or aromatics. What’s possible is adding, e.g., some ginger or lemon slices but only if they don’t get squeezed or eaten so that the juice/fructose stays inside of the cell matrix and don’t get into the tea. Good luck on your fasting journey! 😊
