Of course there isn't a difference between a calorific deficit with and without intermittent fasting. That's not the point at all. The point is it may be easier to adhere to than regular caloric restriction. A secondary point may be that it's overall healthier to fast.

- vosper 8y agoThis is certainly my experience - I've found it much easier to fast 18 hours per day (a bit less on the weekends) than to try to adhere to a caloric restriction over a full day. I think that for me it requires less willpower to have fixed start and end times for eating.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoThe blood sugar spike and trough (from eating recently) is what makes you feel hungry. So avoiding that can make it easier to eat less.

- nil_pointer 8y agoAnother benefit of IH is the dramatically increased HGH production. Not sure if calorie restriction has similar numbers.
