[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pre-pregnancy, when I was losing weight, I did intermittent fasting.  No breakfast (black coffee), a salad for lunch, and then whatever for dinner.  I found it much more satisfying than eating three “light” meals and was actually full after dinner.[/quote]

That is not intermittent fasting. That sounds exactly like my old room mate who was anorexic and bulimic.[/quote]

Are you responding to the correct post? That’s a pretty [b]healthy and unproblematic way of eating. It’s basically skipping breakfast.[/b] [/quote]

Skipping meals is not healthy or unproblematic. We need most energy, including brain energy early in the day. If you skip meals you're starving your brain as well as your body. You will also find your body then clings to fats and sugars and the weight around those when you eat them later on in the day. When you sleep you're not burning calories.

Its healthy to eat 3-5 small meals during the day 7am-7pm. If you do intermittent fasting that means having 1-2 days per week where you only consume 400 calories in each of those given days.[/quote]

While I agree that intermittent fasting is almost always a cover for ED some people do not do well eating multiple small meals. I have insulin resistance. The more often I eat, the more often my insulin skyrockets, and the more fat my body wants to store and hold onto. [/quote]

That is why I said THREE TO FIVE. Most people manage 3, some people do better on 5. [/quote]
