Chief…right now I do have feeling that it may be burning fats internally. Coz difficult to get myself exercise. I find fasting is easier. Dont say lose 200g not happy coz I gained it instead of losing during a period.

I had a hard time when i was just starting to fast...couldnt help myself from eating when i got hungry but after a few weeks of motivating myself and following dr advice, i eventually managed to follow 16/8 method. But be sure to consult your doctor first lah. U got this!

Take care of your stomach and gastric, my doctor is generally not very supportive of my fasting, need energy from the food to support demands of daily activities.


I do regular screening of organs to ensure no bleeding or damage.

I find that the IF/fasting benefits, fm what I read now, actually quite different from what I understand all these while. Growing up our parents always say must eat proper meals don’t skip etc and true even my mom has gastric when she was young likely due to irregular meal time/skipping meals.


Now when we google…it seems that we don’t need to eat so much/let our body have more time without food etc…and that have own benefits… Ikr it is quite ‘confusing’… but true la…maybe I shouldn’t go to extreme side coz once we have gastric think it will follow us.

That aside, I am actually quite surprised I could fast… before this, I really eat non stop…quite rarely to have my stomach rest for say 2-3hrs. Now I cook everyday, dabao food and they eat in front of me…plus I kept searching for recipes coz we have family special ‘feast’ days almost every month this year.

Yes I will be more sensitive towards issues like gastric pain…think no need ask doctor ba…so far ok.

I had my checks on few organs think last or before last year.

Btw, how often do we need to chk those organs to ensure no bleeding etc?

Funz leh? Think she is did some IF also…

Good morning MrsKiasu,
Have you already told Mr. Kiasu the details on your fasting these few days? What is his comments on your fasting plan?

Good morning LNW.
He asked me to go and eat. I told him another 15mins make a full hour. He says what 15mins, go eat now. It was not planned. But don't worry, unable to go that long.

What I actually want is to heal the pain on my foot. Yesterday I walked alot and the pain came back.

Traditionally, people ate 3 meals a day. They fasted for nearly 12 hours every 24 hours. There was less constant snacking. That's fairly close to IF. I think that long-term fasting of 20 hours a day is probably going to lead to some gastric issues, especially for those who are prone to it. I would say be moderate - once you start getting gastric pains, the damage may already be done.

That aside, I am actually quite surprised I could fast.. before this, I really eat non stop..quite rarely to have my stomach rest for say 2-3hrs. Now I cook everyday, dabao food and they eat in front of me..plus I kept searching for recipes coz we have family special 'feast' days almost every month this year.
Be careful not to go from one extreme to the other. Just because eating constantly isn't good, eating too infrequently is not good either. I think you should stick to a 16/8 IF regime (if you want to do IF) for at least 2-3 weeks before deciding to try another regime (which you should follow steadily for another 2-3 weeks to allow your body to adjust). I don't think you gave the 16/8 regime much of a trial. The aim is to accustom your body to the new regime of eating less frequently, not to see how long you can go without food.

No idea. I have my own personal opinions, which I won't share here. But again, don't wait to see bleeding before adjusting your lifestyle. It's best to choose one that you know to be generally safe and prevent bleeding from happening in the first place.
