This isn't really fasting - it's just skipping breakfast. And that's fine, if you don't get screaming hungry later and binge on pizza (common problem when people skip meals). Why not have the almonds for breakfast instead of as an afternoon snack?

@soonsoonsoon aha it is fasting, i'm just spending some of it asleep-it's intermittent fasting in a 19hr fast:5hr eating window ratio. I'm still eating /something/ for breakfast, just not anything high-calorie, as the IF guidelines suggest.

I don't think people consider sleeping/napping to be time spent fasting. It's just sleeping. But if calling it fasting is what helps you get through the day, and you finish out around the 1200 calorie mark, go for it. Winning the weight loss battle requires psychological tricks sometimes.

Soon, they do. It's how a lot of people avoid the hunger pangs. Just because you're not awake doesn't mean your body isn't using energy! I have done my research, so...

Hey Frankie, good luck with this. I know lots of people do well with this method and yes, they do consider sleeping as part of their fasting time. I mean, it's called Break-Fast for a reason. I personally could not use this method due to the blood sugar drops that knock me on my butt but if you're stable enough to try it, it can certainly put your body into a quick burn mode when the food does come and changing your pattern of intake can keep your metabolism constantly adjusting. This can definitely be a good thing. Please, just do be careful of any warning signs that might tell you this method isn't working for you and as Soon mentioned, I hope this doesn't provoke any binges. If I get that hungry, I'm liable to eat the house down. Let us know how it goes for you and again, good luck!
