[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done IF for years and am fat. Never lost a pound that way. [/quote]

You still need to reduce caloric consumption. IF makes that easier to do. [/quote]

Actually for some people IF increases their blood sugar based on the liver dumping sugar into the bloodstream from starvation signals. So for some, it actually makes it harder to lose weight. [/quote]

This is the problem with how we talk about weight loss. Everyone gains for different reasons and retains for different reasons.

IF helped me lose 40 pounds, it changed my life. I don't think its a silver bullet for everyone but if we all spent time exchanging notes about why we think we gained instead of trying to poke holes in other people's success method then maybe we could actually help each other. We're all just stumbling around in the dark trying every method until we find one that happens to work.

I avoided IF for years because of people saying it was an eating disorder blah blah blah. But I have PCOS and my weight gain was insulin related. If we had a system that tried to evaluate why people gained and give them a recommendation based on that we could help so many people. Instead everyone who tried something that works tries to push it down the throats of everyone else and everyone who tried something that didn't work goes around casting as much doubt and suspicion on it as possible.[/quote]
