Is this a good idea?

I want to start fasting to lose weight, i intend to go on a 12 hour minimum daily fast, one issue though.Obviously i can only have one meal per 12 hours (basically a day) and then i break my fast, the issue is i dont live alone and i cant not eat without my family noticing, so I'd have to eat only dinner so my mom sees im eating (she usually works untill 5:00 pm) which would mean a 19 to 20 hour fast depending on what time we eat, and i dont think i can do that without like dying mentally To fix this i would fast for less time but according to google (ik google lies im too lazy to do proper research) i need a 12 hour fast MINIMUM for it to work for fat lossSo is there anything i can do or am i just cooked? via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/apCioxm
