> Reducing my caloric intake IF isn't really about reducing caloric intake as such. If I remember correctly Terry Crews eats something like 4000 calories during his window of eating, but fasts for the remaining 16 hours. That said, if you're trying to lose weight, it is probably the laziest way to eat less for someone who can't cook their own food (or doesn't want to). Skipping a meal is much easier than convincing the family to add cauliflower rice or go keto with the breads. There's very little substitution going on that someone else has to sign up, if you share a life with them. You can share meals when it is the family meal time. I will say that fasting is much less social media friendly, because I can't really post a bunch of photos of meals I've skipped to feel good about the life change I've made.
