Ah yes, the old trick of avoiding a lifestyle change by adopting an exactly similar lifestyle change.
The only person suggesting a certain lifestyle change need to be all or nothing, is you yourself.
Intermittent fasting is the most non-all or nothing approach to eating that exists. The very definition of intermittent is telling you it's not constant. It's whatever you want it to be.
In fact, you could call what you are doing right now 'intermittent fasting' and nobody would bat an eye.
I'm glad you found something that works for you, but the logic here is not congruent.
- vinceguidry 7y agoIntermittent fasting is a pretty clear course of action, limiting your eating to a small time window over a 24 or 48 hour period. I certainly don't do that. What I'm doing now is very different than what I did before. When I get hungry, I eat. With IF, you have to wait for your feeding window.
- RBerenguel 7y agoBut, it’s pretty fluid as far as a diet goes. I usually do 16-8 fasting (eating window of 8 hours, I don’t have dinner, usually stop eating at 15 or 16) but if I feel like having dinner (happens on occasion) or if I have an event or conference, I’ll follow normal eating schedules and it doesn’t affect me much (surprisingly I’m more hungry in the morning if I had dinner).
