Those who support a 16:8 eating routine claim that it is impossible (or at least very difficult) with overeat within an 8 hour eating window. However, what I am about to describe might well shatter that belief in my case, anyway. Yesterday started off fine, but I have been struggling with extreme bouts of hunger and tiredness over the last couple of days.

Yesterday, that hunger just grew bigger and bigger, making it more and more of a struggle to even hold out until the point in time when I opened my eating window for yesterday at 12 noon. Yesterday was of course, day 88 of this WOE and my 63rd feeding day under this regime.

My intention was to remain low carb and I had hoped that this might quell the hunger a bit. I even downed a whole pint of water to see if that would help, but all to no avail. Because I had intended to go low carb yesterday, I started off that way by eating a smoked sausage with some...

Good luck, @moderatemeals! I think you'll love this way of life!

Thanks for the comment, cblasz.
Maybe this WOE is so successful that everyone's lost the weight and got on with their lives! I can hope ...
