You ought to get a glucometer to check on your blood sugar levels, especially since you have blacked out in the past. Then you can adjust your fasting accordingly. There is nothing magical about the time of the window. I myself eat at around noon and around 5, give or take, and depending on circumstances. And sometimes I eat 3 meals or eat a very late meal if social occasions require it. The main thing is that you go for 19 hours without eating. And it doesn't matter if you take a month to slowly work up to a 19 hour fast. Better to go slowly than to push your body beyond what it is capable of, make yourself sick and give up. The goal is to find a way that works for you and that you can live with long term. Since we all have different bodies, we will all require slightly differnt routes.

Hello Everyone,
So wonderful to be part of a group that can share about this!
I only learned about this eating lifestyle a few days ago by accident while looking for something else on the net. I have read the book now and started my "conditioning" today. I hoped to just go to 5pm but couldn't. Became so weak. Managed to go to 1pm and then ate. So will just keep extending out until get to later. Is it OK to go to 4pm instead of 5pm and close the window at 9pm? Or even 3pm till 8pm as a window. I seldom have eaten as late as 9pm except when out at a restaurant. I am naturally an early riser and prefer to sleep earlier when possible.
I was a bit nervous to start because if my blood sugar gets low I have even been known to black out. But perhaps with conditioning my body can learn to feed off fat instead of regular snacks like I am used to. I recently developed a dairy allergy... well recently understood I had it maybe....and believe that detoxing the liver can make this reverse. Fasting is the most efficient way to detox but I go so slow after the first day it is awful. I hate feeling tired. I am pretty sure that this way I can fast without that. I did fall sleep after I ate because of delaying breakfast so many hours. So glad I could. I am really trusting my physiology will adapt. Makes so much sense.
This forum is a wonderful idea.
