[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s fine if you are overweight and need to lose a few, but there’s a ton of disordered eaters on this board who are obsessed with being “lean” and I’m sure they use it to stay that way.  Personally I don’t think IF is great for women.  It’s more suited to male hormones.  I think many women have dieted, restricted, and exercised to exhaustion and have forgotten that we need to be a little gentler on ourselves.  These things will crash your metabolism and make weight management very difficult.  I’m a normal sized woman, 5’7 and 140lbs with a good amount of muscle but also some flab, and it’s fine.  I care more about functionality and health than fitting into a size 2.  When I stopped caring about my weight (tossed my scale) and ate every day to fullness while maintaining a diet full of meat, dairy, carbs and tons of fruits and veggies I didn’t gain anything and actually have a lot more energy.  I just focus on limiting junk and make sure to eat mostly real, unprocessed food 85% of the time.[/quote]

You have a BMI of 22. That's pretty skinny. [/quote]
