A big thing to stress here is that you eat normally the other days. I know some people who have tried IF who gorge on food once the fast ends, and end up no bet

A big thing to stress here is that you eat normally the other days. I know some people who have tried IF who gorge on food once the fast ends, and end up no better off than not fasting at all - calorie wise at least.
- gwern 14y agoThat's good advice if you want to lose weight, but a number of IF studies were calorie neutral (double rations on non-fast days) and that's why I find it interesting: it's triggering some of the same benefits as CR but without restricting calories, which means it may be a much easier lifestyle to maintain.
