there are crazy benefits which all have solid scientific support, so unless you're trying to bloatmaxx to bloatlord status there's no reason why it shouldnt be adopted.

-muscle preservation
-fat burn
-enhanced energy and focus
-increased HGH production
-less work than eating all day

ive found that between hours 12-17 of my fast i have awesome, smooth energy and focus - thats dat der fat furn for fuel and energy. you can literally feel how much better the energy is from fat sources vs carb sources.

"breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is now a derpy myth

I'm pretty sure there's some legit science backing some aspects of IF.

There is. Stupid people don't read, they would rather label you as someone with an eating disorder

The few hours we talked were really great even if the convo was stale, your really pretty and chill, and your country thats just perfect :'D i really dont know how to explain it, but i think i have feelings for you somehow. i never felt like this with someone i just met, but i felt the need to get it off my chest. sorry for being all weird just idk how to explain it D:

I utilize I.F. throughout the summer months to stay leaner.. I have read all of the "benefits" of I.F. and to be honest couldn't tell you if its legit in that aspect or not. But what I can tell you is I feel phenomenal on the last couple of hours fasted.. it helps me keep calories down and Macros where they need to be, combined with carb cycling I can easily stay in single digit BF% for months...


In reality I am not ignorant and realize its all calories in vs calories out , but its just what I do.

I've been doing IF for over a month, used to have dragon breath all the time and now its more neutral. IDK if its related, or because I cut out booze, or what but its nice benefit

improves insulin resistance and much more

get on the obesity code audiobook if you haven't already. mindblowing.

it used to be that carbs were the enemy, then fat (yes trans is) was bad, now it's calories (herp derp laws of thermodynamics cals in must = cals out even though the human body isn't an isolated system)... in the future (next 10 years) it will be insulin levels were the true enemy of obesity

so did people finally realize that all you basically have to do to lose weight is count fukin calories and avoid excess sugar?

i coulda told you that when I was 10.

i always lol at people who avoid fatty foods purely based on their fat content. Fat doesnt make you fat. i hear this chit all the time
Look, i know i don't really know you and all, and i know you probably hear this like everyday, but your just so perfect to me.

if you give insulin to a guy or gal even eating 2000 cals a day or less.. they will get fat if you give them enough insulin over X amount of time - this is science. it isn't about calories but hormone levels.

a doctor i think in the 70s or 80s (need to get the study from the obesity code) did an experiment where he ate 5000 calories of protein and fats over 3 weeks. he gained 1kg.. but lost inches around his waist, so gained lbm. he was shocked so tried the same thing but with 80% carbs (mostly refined). over 3 weeks he gained 8kg+ and inches, guess what that gain was?

100cals of twinkies isn't the same as 100cals rice or sweet potatoes.. one has had the fiber taken out which increases the absorbtion of sugar into the blood = increase in insulin. not exactly natural and the reason the western world is getting fatter by the day since most crap being sold in the store is processed junk. it isn't eat less. move more. since if you eat less, your body slows down it's system (heart rate etc) to burn less calories. not sustainable. but if you eat more of theright foods, your body will expend more calories, produce more heat etc. it won't just turn those calories into fat (see the doctor that ate 5000 cals a day as an example)

Broscience like this makes it seem so complicated to lose weight

It literally is CICO, whole foods and protons are more satiating, but you would lose weight on 1800calories per day of coca cola just as fast as you would off of 1800 calories per day of chicken and rice.

IF simply makes it more tolerable to eat below maintenance

cum at me

1800 calories worth of coke is like 10 fukin cans.

that is an extraordinary amount of sugar.

excess glucose = fat storage = bloat lord. you wont lose weight

nevermind the one way trip to diabetes

I do a kind of version of it, though not for any of the benefits mentioned. I just get super hungry by dinner if I don't delay my earlier meals until later in the day.
