- 1270018080 5y agoWhen it comes to diet, consuming fewer calories than you burn in a day is literally only way to lose weight. Anything else is a cheap mind trick.
- saurik 5y agoOk, but almost no one disputes that, right? The argument is whether intermittent fasting makes it easier--for any number of reasons, such as causing you to feel less hungry or force you into a better schedule or whatever--to cause you to eat less calories.
- URSpider94 5y agoMany people do, actually. They argue that fasting “reprograms your metabolism” or changes how your body digests food or the like. If you think of it as a different way to effect caloric restriction, then you’re on the right track.
