I’ve been reading some of the posts on here and learning lots of stuff, so thank you for that. I do have a couple questions. I read a couple posts that kept referring to IF. Is this a abbreviation for something?
Also I hear a lot about fasting and a fasting window and such. I’m not quite understanding what this is all about. Do I not eat at all on certain days? Can someone please explain this in more detail.
Still learning

Intermittent Fasting
You do whatever works for you and your lifestyle, there’s no set rules.

No one answered your question about “IF” - that’s intermittent fasting. As you’ll read in the fasting forum, there are lots of ways to do it. Dr. Jason Fung is one name you’ll see a lot- he teaches fasting along with low-carb eating for metabolic repair and weight loss.
If you have quite a bit to lose and you’re just getting started, I would make sure you’ve got your macros in line and get fat adapted before you try fasting, just to avoid confusion.
Just for example: I started doing a 16-8 IF - eating only in an 8-hour window, then refraining for 16 (much of which I’m sleeping) to try to speed up my weight loss. It’s helped.

If you like youtube I like DR. Berg he explains it in a simple way (for a simple person like me) 
“May the Force (fat adaption) be with you”

A few acronyms

YMMV - your mileage may vary
KCKO - keep calm and keto on
I had to keep looking these things up! There are others I’m sure.
