I felt better over all, especially because I was drinking a lot of water. I don't tend to drink a lot of water if I'm not fasting. Anyway, I've thought about going back to it, but I just don't know. I WANT to lose weight. IF didn't do it for me. I made dietary changes and was fasting for 20-40 hours between meals. I had less swelling in my knees and ankles (probably the water) and less bloating, but those were the main benefits for me. I'm debating between that, and seeing a doctor for weight loss because I'm sick of my current weight.

Sherri, I LOVE your new avi!
If you haven't checked out Gin Stephens, I'd highly recommend her podcasts - Intermittent Fasting Stories. There are many different approaches to IF, so maybe something different would work better for you. When I lost 20ish pounds last year, I definitely noticed a lot of other health benefits as well.
