[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF is just an eating schedule and anorexia is an actual condition.  saying IF and anorexia is the same is like saying working a four day compressed schedule is the same as not working at all.

You can still overeat and gain weight while on IF but anorexia, by definition, means you are under-eating/not absorbing.  [/quote]
Ugh- I’m not saying, I’m asking. 
Both seem highly restrictive & based on compulsions. It’s not that big of a leap.[/quote]

Ah - see what you misunderstand is that IF is not based on compulsions! I have zero compulsion to skip breakfast, or limit my calories to 500 two times a week. It doesn't feel good, it doesn't give me any intrinsic motivation. But I have to maintain an earlier weight loss, and after doing some experimentation and reading IF seems like the best shot. I do it because it works to keep me at a healthy weight (for me that means slightly overwieght - I can't seem to get into the "healthy" BMI) when nothing else does.[/quote]
