[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, [b]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.[/b] If you're basically consuming 3 meals worth of calories in the 8 hours, then it's kind of pointless.

Disagree.  That's calorie restriction, not IF.  The point of IF is to regulate insulin and/or promote autophagy.  [/quote]

Hi, I'm the person who you're quoting. You're correct.  What I meant to write was that it's about appetite correction, not calorie restriction.  I'm still learning a lot of the terminology.  The group I follow is based on the book Delay, Don't Deny, and it goes into all of the things you mentioned re: insulin regulation and autophagy.  I honestly am not as focused on those areas, I'm more in it for the appetite correction (and the weight loss). [/quote]
