The key to any diet change is constant observation on changes happening within the body and on one’s behavioral patterns. If one observes that one is binge eating after a fast, my suggestion would be to slow down and ease into it.
For the time restricted feeding (TRF) kind of intermittent fasting, one could start at 14:10 (14 hours fasting and a 10 hour eating window) and build up to 16:8 or beyond. What matters is what works for you. Intermittent fasting may also interfere with social activities like sharing a meal with others during your fasting window. Give yourself a break, enjoy those moments and get back on track.
There is no one single diet that works for everyone or even works for the same person all the time. Micro-adaptations can go a long way in building sustained habits that get ingrained.
I follow something from 16:8 to 18:6. I haven’t seen any weight loss unless I cut down on calories a lot. But I’m comfortable with this eating pattern and feel better in the night when I stopped eating by around 6 in the evening.
