As a weight loss tool - anyone doing it? I’m considering it. Seems like an easy option to loose weight if you don’t want to exercise, like me.
I been doing it for few months. Just make sure you consult your doctor for any health matters first.As a weight loss tool - anyone doing it? I’m considering it. Seems like an easy option to loose weight if you don’t want to exercise, like me.
Intermittent fasting will not bestow upon you magical fat loss. I think folks glorify it a bit much, there's nothing about it that breaks the law of thermodynamics. What it does, however, is holds people more accountable for what they put in their mouths. Many people tend to graze and eat mindlessly, especially later at night or between meals. With IF, sticking to a fasting window just makes you more aware of what you're really consuming. It's perfectly possible and in fact very easy to outeat IF. As with any other dieting method, simply consider it as yet another tool in the toolbox. If it works for you, use it to your advantage. Many find that it helps control hunger, as well. But you won't magically lose a bunch of bodyfat just by incorporating IF; it needs to accompany a reasonable, sustainable nutrition plan, too.

This is the truth for any eating plan/diet. Keto, Mediterranean, Paleo, IF. They're all just tools to create a caloric deficit.
Not the full picture as it also affects your metabolism (the "calories out" part of the equation)
