No, it is not. Most people eat 12 to 16 hours a day, often with a "midnight snack" to break up fasting even more.
Restricting eating to 10 or less hours a day involves some discipline. I have been trying it for a for a month, and seem to be seeing an effect. I decided to try it more out of curiosity than because of necessity.
The best way to lose weight is slowly. Fast weight loss is nearly impossible to keep up.
I did not even bother checking my weight at the start. (probably lost a couple of lbs, but did not keep good records.
I have been checking for the last week. Too early to tell, but down about a lb in the last week. (measured carefully to .1 lb at same time each day before eating.)
I will know a lot more in a couple of months.
What is your eating schedule? Between what hours?
Thx.

I disagree with that. People want to see results. They need motivation, and they need encouragement. I agree it is nearly impossible to keep up the initial rate of fat loss over extended time periods.
600 to 800 calories a day is considered rapid weight loss, 900 to 1100 more moderate. For my part it started out around 2.5 pounds per week, with some stubborn plateaus thrown in. Over time the average fat loss declined to an average of around 1.5 pounds a week. But shedding 1 to 2 pounds a week is something achievable, it’s realistic and sustainable helps keep people from getting frustrated with their program, I think.
