Hi all,
I was doing intermittent fasting but now i will be working so i will have a 9 - 5 job. Earlier i used to eat breakfast at 12 in the afternoon and then last meal at 8 PM.
Now that i will travel to work and working hours are 8 hours then how to get into IF.
Someone please advise on a plan.
I wake up at 6 AM.
Leave the house by 7:30 AM
Office 9 AM
Leave office and reach home by 6 PM

What’s the problem? IF is about limiting your eating window to minimize insulin response. The duration of that window is up to you (16:8, 20:4, etc…). When that window happens is also up to you. If you get home at 6, have a big and filling dinner and call it good.
I had an office job for a while and it made IF super easy. I usually skipped breakfast anyway, I’d work through lunch, eat dinner when I got home between 5 and 6, and it worked great.
Bpc 6 am
Another coffee 9am
Lunch noon ish
Dinner close to 6 as possible
I can get home earlier so my window is more compressed but it will work. Bet a lot of 9-5ers do the same. Congrats on your new job.
Not sure I see the problem. I work 0800-1700 and do IF every day, I just prep food to eat at work as my eating window is mornings. Surely you can take your breakfast into work with you and eat at 8pm as normal?
