Keto & fasting

I just started keto - this is my third day. I’ve been reading everything on this app to learn as much as I can and saw a few posts about fasting with keto. I was just wondering if someone can explain to me how that works? Is it just 12 hour fasting through the night? Thanks in advance!

    i do a 19:5 intermittant fast.  So basically i eat all my days food in a 5 hour window and i dont eat nothing for 19 hours.  

    So for me i start eating at 4 pm  thru 9 pm then nothing else till next day at 4 pm.

    You set your time and hours for whatever works best for you and your lifestyle.

    During fast hours you can drink water and electrolyte drink that is apple vinegar plus sea salt

    I don’t recommend IF until you do keto for a month and get everything figured out. You also need to be fat adapted. It takes a month to figure out what food to buy, how much to eat, research keto recipes and lose cravings. The first week or two I made a lot of mistakes. The next two weeks things were really coming together. This app figures your macros for you, most people manually lower them. I didn’t know that in the beginning.  Best wishes on your new lifestyle.

    A somewhat lengthy read, but here are some medical based thoughts about fasting.  I’m neither pro or con, but think it best when folks can get some good information before making a decision.  I took out the “https:”,  the “//“, and the “www.” So it might make it through the administrators - my posts with links often get hung up in review.  Just manually add them back in, or google the following:

    hope this helps
