katlady Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I did a Whole30 a few years ago but I've been doing intermittent fasting for about a year and a half and this is my first Whole30 in that time. I'm wondering if that will make it harder, easier. Any suggestions or tips would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not recommend IF for people to combine with a Whole30 because it goes against the principles of eating 3 times a day spaced 4-5 hours apart. That said, if you have been doing IF successfully and it doesn't cause you any great problems as long as you're eating the daily volume of food recommended within your own feeding window, you should be fine. There aren't going to be a ton of tips or suggestions because it's not something that is recommended for folks to do.

kirkor Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Did someone summon me? I do IF + Whole30 and it works A-OK. There's some good discussion of different perspectives in this other thread. @SugarcubeOD stated the official position well, so if you do decide to give it a whirl you can hit me up via messaging.

Linwe Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I thought about fasting in the Whole30. In fact, I almost did that yesterday (which was supposed to be Day 1). But then my carb cravings kicked in and I downed two bars and two pretzel bags. And then it just went downhill from there. So, I started over this morning and actually ate some food, and I feel much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ya it often backfires trying to change multiple habits at once. John Berardi has some thoughts on that here: https://www.precisionnutrition.com/one-habit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourpatch Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I want to start whole30 but 3/7 days I am out of the house from like 9 am to 9:30 pm. I'd rather not pack 2 meals or look for something that conforms to the whole30 diet. I was thinking of combining IF and Whole30. Is this an ok idea? If not, what do you recommend?
