IF seems relatively commonplace at this point. That said, its physiological value over other calorie restrictive diets is dubious: https://academic.oup.com/ajc

  lol. sorry but that’s not true. calories are important but they’re not all that matters (another way of saying this is if you overeat you will get heavier). i can tell you that when you eat matters a lot. i can also tell you that a calorie from sugar is not the same as a calorie from lean meat. it’s not the energy value, but the hormonal effect it has on you and the results cravings/hunger/binge eating. if I’m ever going to become a minimalistic nutrition guru my advice would be this: cut out sugar and refined carbs, sleep, exercise. that is all. good luck pedaling this and makinf money of of it :)

    While this is a hotly debated topic, it's not an argument I made. It's also irrelevant to the topic. You can do IF and eat candy for eight hours. The meta studies show that IF offers no additional benefits over similar caloric deficit approaches

  another interesting point is that fasting and intermittent fasting is not a diet. IMHO all diets fail. If you attack it as a problem, you find a solution, do that, it works and you considered it solved you’re gonna fallback to your own habbits. the way I look at eating and other aspects of my life is that I want sustainable change. If I see me doing something for the rest of my life and incorporating it into my routine/lifestyle I do it. If not I will not. Sustainable change is what you want. Not a quick fix. Not a miracle. Not a pill.
