Maybe because those who are trying to diet are already obese?
- throwaway1777 4y agoA lot of people doing intermittent fasting are not obese. In fact a large portion of the people I know who do it are more athlete/biohacker types (I fall into this bucket myself)
- madeofpalk 4y agoI don't think intermittent fasting is 'weight loss dieting' In my limited personal experience, it's not obese people i see doing intermittent fasting - it's more like the keto crowd.
- Kelteseth 4y agoMy experience tells me the exact opposite. I lost more than 20kg thanks to IF. I would not have done it, if it would not mean I will lose weight.
- exfatloss 4y agoKeto-crowd and weight-loss crowd have a massive overlap. If you get into keto for fat loss these days, you will almost certainly encounter IF ideas and will likely try some form yourself. I have.
- nequo 4y agoRather unfortunately, the paper is behind a paywall but the results use this phrase: the multivariable-adjusted HRs for participants That suggests to me that they controlled for BMI or other proxies for obesity.
