To the people who think that walking cannot make an impact on your weight

I hate it when people claim they are being healthy by walking their dog but remain fat because they don’t change their diet.

I am always baffled by this. Why do you care?

And to other posters thinking the window is extreme, I do IF and technically my window is 11-7 but after a year of doing this I frequently get to 1pm or beyond without even thinking about it. Today I ate at 1:30, and I was hungry so definitely could have eaten earlier but I like to get my cardio in pre food and got delayed today. I ate a yogurt and a pack of sausage biscuits (2 small ones). I will eat a totally normal dinner. It is basically just skipping breakfast and not snacking at night. It is great, but this is not starving myself. I would have thought it was before I did it though!

I too, am always baffled by the people on here and Reddit who scream IF is starving yourself. Are there people with a history of disordered eating who should not be doing it? Yes.
But it seems there are way more people who eat too much, graze all day and eat at night when they are not really hungry.

My experience is the same as yours. I can easily go until 1 pm, but if I'm hungry before I eat. Cutting out sugar and processed foods helps SO much. Ironically when I do occasionally snack after dinner, (usually on weekend nights when I'm having a glass of wine with my husband) I am hungrier the next day, first thing in the morning.

+1 For a long time, it's been accepted that we should encourage people to eat breakfast, "the most important meal of the day", even if they're not hungry. How in the world is encouraging someone to eat when they are not hungry considered healthy?
