So, you might do just fine without HRT, freckles.

I am SO happy to hear the two of you say this! All the women I know are taking HRT's and it was worrying me a bit for when I get there.

Instead of being caught up in an IF schedule--my advice would be to ascertain what your own personal eating cycle feels like and follow that.

I totally agree with this. I've begun to settle into my own form of IF too, without trying and really without knowing much about a formal approach. I just end up eating two good meals most days because that's just how it works out for me. |
