[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on an IF facebook group and a lot of people do "OMAD," or one meal a day fasts. So instead of 16:8, they're fasting 20:4 or 22:2.  I personally stick to 16:8 b/c that's what's feasible for me on a regular basis and I don't want this to be a temporary diet. On the weekends I often find myself being able to push beyond the 16 hour mark so if it feels good, I'll do more of a 18:6 or 19:5.   But OP, to your question, the point of IF is for your body to regulate its appetite so that you don't want to consume as many calories during those 8 (or however many) hours that you're eating. If you're basically consuming 3 meals worth of calories in the 8 hours, then it's kind of pointless. [/quote]

That’s not try.  iF is about lowering your insulin levels so that you can tap into stored fat while you are not eating.  You don’t want to calories restrict as well because that will lower your basal metabolic rate.  So when you fears, you should feats.  When you fast, you should have NO calories.  But when I eat, I eat a full day’s calories over two meals and sometimes one!  (I eat a lot of fat.).

Ugh so sorry for the typos - typing quickly on phone.  I mean, FEaSt when you are not fasting.  Ideally, low can so your insulin stays low.

Insulin isn a fat storage hormone.  If you snack all day, your insulin stays high and you can’t tap into stored fat. By restricting your eating window, you e a lease stored fat.  But EAT when you eat in order to keep up your metabolism!  You don’t want to be like people on the Biggest Loser who gain it all back, not because they aren’t still eating well and exercising like mad, but because all of that calorie restriction wrecked their metabolism.

I’m a 5’7” woman and eat 1700-2200 calories in my eating windows and STiLl lose weight.[/quote]
