After you wrote this article I started doing 12 hours pretty consistently through the summer. This week I decided to do more research on intermittent fasting (I learned a ton) and tried doing 16-20 hours each day for the whole week. I skipped breakfast every day and some days had a slightly larger lunch than normal, but other days just had a normal size lunch. After 3 months of 12-16 hour fasts each day it actually wasn't very difficult to transition to 16-20 hour daily fasts... I'll probably keep it up. It's nice to not have to worry about preparing and eating breakfast... so it probably saves me 15-30 minutes each day. And the weight is coming off--hit 50 pounds lost today! Wahoo! Thanks for all your advice and encouragement.

What is your disease called? Is there ways to improve the pain with lowering inflammation by what you eat? Does walking on different surfaces help at all? How about walking in a swimming pool? I'm trying to get a feel for the level of your pain and how to reduce it or work around it

I love this message, just move. I have a horrible diseases in the bones of my feet. This has mangled my feet and makes it next to impossible to walk more than a few feet at a time. Any ideas on how I can increase my walking with the physical restraints I live with?
