Even if IF is nothing more than calorie restriction supporting the calories in/calories out hypothesis, it succeeds in creating a real psychological benefit - you get to have real, satisfying meals of food you actually like - you just have to wait longer for it.
If you're trying to lose weight, and you like food, the sight of the food in these 1200 calorie 3 meal daily plans is incredibly depressing. Eating an egg white on a piece of wheat toast every morning for the rest of your life is a kind of torture that never gets easier. It's like trying not to blink forever, or holding your breath forever.
Much better to just wait all day and spend the calories on a generous portion of something you really want to eat.
- agumonkey 9y agoI'm aiming at this these days. I'm cutting most shitty food (I allow some pastry in the week; but no soda, no fast food, no industrial meals). But I'm not mentally ready to cut the pleasure of a good meal. I'll better stop using my car and job between places and keep higher calories. I "believe" the benefits of good ingredients, close to no fat and no added sugar + regular sport is already significant. Later I'll move to more vegetables, less carbohydrates to trim my body fat even further.
