Is it? 16/8 is the silver bullet for most people. You won’t know unless you commit to giving it a try. Granted certain routines can make it easier to adopt.

Commiting is the problem when you have so much to commit to.
12/12 is hard to be consistent.
It’s hard to do anything it seems. Nearly 1 and I haven’t started prepping lunch yet.havent done my bike or lifting either.

I find 16/8 to be pretty easy but I was never really a breakfast person anyway. It won’t work if you just open the floodgates for 8hrs though.
Despite everyone desperately looking for outlying bunnies out of hats. For the majority of people, the majority of the time, it’s CICO. 16/8 is really just a tool that helps that.

This sounds like a ‘Poet type of busy’ i.e. the chaff is consuming too much of your mental planning load.
I agree, probably. I’m trying to reorganise my team and workload to make this job more manageable. I want the kids to help out more at home . House clothes and “stuff” is mostly simplified. And I’ve spent a lot of time simplifying training.

I’m the same Joe. Trying to think of how I want the garage, the right tools and ‘look’. Thinking of the DIY jobs, trying to save my own job at work, a little worried about my health, need to change at least one car and deciding if Arc is a viable option or not, then taking care of LO. (and her new bloody piano).
I said to Mrs FP, ‘why do I never get a clear window to sort this shit without something derailing it’ 
I did not get an answer

It’s a pity you can’t “Marie Kondo” work. Hold onto a coworker…now, do they spark joy? If not, Chuck them in the bin!

Since I posted last been very up and down. 16/8 was resulting in steady reduction, then I woke up feeling run down and full of cold so feeling sorry for myself I started comfort eating. We then went to Menorca for 8 days for half term.
Done very little exercise since I felt ill, but did an XC race yesterday and actually it went OK. Probably helped by the fact I didn’t start off too fast and die like normal, started a bit steadier and managed to maintain, which is always a nicer feel. Waiting on the results to see how I actually did in comparison to to others from last year.
Starting back on 16/8 again today. I’m also looking at the treadmill and thinking I really need to get on it.

4 weeks since I had flu bug and I’ve been consistently doing weights at the gym (4/5 times per week) and the last couple of weeks trying to add in a few 30min cardio sessions (punchbag) as well as approx. 10k steps per day. The result:
I’m getting back to my PBs on lifts, my trousers feel a bit looser and (I think) I look a bit better in terms of smaller round waist and a bit bigger round shoulders, chest, arms etc. but scales say I’m putting on nothing but fat.
I may be delusional but I’m calling foul on my scales. I started Creatine a couple of weeks ago too, so expected a bit of a gain and muscles filling out a bit which the scales seem to be reading as pure lard.
Ps. They’re pretty old scales so don’t do a detailed breakdown, just weight & bodyfat %.

TBH I wouldn’t trust any of those electrical resistance scales to accurately measure body fat vs muscle mass. Overall number, mirror, hitting near PBs and trousers not getting tighter says #gainz to me. You’ve barely gained a kg that could easily be the creatine water weight I’d say. If your really concerned accurately cal count what you eat on a couple of days just to give you a rough gauge.

Just ordered a set of Garmin scales to improve the data reading as my tanita scales are giving odd readings despite swapping out the batteries. I need some motivation to improve the W/KG over winter and get to a reasonable weight by Feb
