[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 weeks in IF.  No changes to food.  Now I have reduced the carbs and the weight is melting. I do not want to do 'no carb'.  I will always eat nutritious food, and eat till I am satiated.  IF works and is easy. [/quote]

It’s working because you reduced carbs.[/quote]

Well, yes. Eventually all diets expect you to reduce calories, exercise etc.,but IF is more doable than other diets.

I have reduced carbs before (Atkins, South Beach etc)  as well and then went on a carb binge if I ate a bite of bread.  Going without carbs showed great results at first but then it was easy to slide back.  Any holiday or celebration and I not only stuffed my face, but stuffed it like a fiend.

With IF there is NO carb deprivation or a big problem with being hungry.  Carbs are good if you choose the right ones.  In IF I only had to take care about eating nutritious foods, and I eat till I was satisfied and full. The carbs helps to keep me full.  In terms of reducing carbs - I think I am actually substituting good carbs for bad carbs. In any case, IF has worked for me and kept my blood sugar stable.  Since the rule is mainly to eat in an 8 hour period, it is very easy to shift these hours around.  I am able to go out and eat for any meal and in any restaurant.  For me IF also automatically meant a reduction in calories. I cannot eat 3 whole meals in 8 hours.  I am too stuffed most of the time.

I was never a terrible eater (no soda and chips for me). So for a skinny fat person like me, IF has actually shown results quickly and I am seeing the belly fat, armpit fat and the fat on the flanks reducing.  I have lost 8 lbs in less than 6 weeks on IF, and I do not feel as if I am on a diet.  [/quote]
