[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We seriously need a new forum about this. There’s a post similar to this every day.

[b]you are eating fewer calories so you are losing weight.[/b][/quote]

it is not the eating window that matters. Or even the composition of foods. it is the calories you consume. Of course if you cut carbs which typically make up 30-50% of more diets you will lose weight.

The reason you weren't losing weight before wasn't because your body is special or because you are 47 or because you have  slow metabolism or because you were eating in a 12 hr window. It was because you were simply consuming too many calories. period.

I am glad you have found a way of eating that works for you. I hope you can stick to it for the rest of your life. But let/s just be honest with the real reason you are losing weight. [/quote]

I do not care what you do in your eating but I suspect you are not actually a weight loss researcher.  From everything I have read over the years, which is extensive and goes across many diets but I am not a doctor, weight loss is multi-factorial.  Yes, people can lose weight with calories restriction and yes, eating massive quantities of calories will  almost always result in weight gain.  But the body is more complex than a calculator.  Insulin is a factor in eating and weight gain.  For example, type-I diabetics cannot gain weight to literally save their lives without taking insulin no matter how many calories they eat.  What and how often you eat does impact insulin resistance and that impacts metabolic disorders.  My husband has "cured" himself of type-II diabetes by following an IF plan and has lost and kept off some weight as well, but in the neighborhood of 15 pounds total.  For context, he never looked obese, is athletic and we were completely surprised by the diabetic diagnosis when it happened.

Eat however you want for your own health and even share your knowledge with others about what "might" work for them, but do not declare yourself all knowing about why something works for another person with another body make-up than your own.

That is all.[/quote]
