[quote=Anonymous]6:1 is just finding one fast day in a week, where you aim for 500 calories over a 24 hour period. People split it out in the way it works best for them so there is a lot of variety. You should check out UK forums where IF has been popular for a year or so. Anyway people split out the calories in a variety of ways, some can skip breakfast some cannot etc. But overall the consensus is to avoid carbs because they stimulate appetite. Focus on proteins and good fats. I have not moved to 6:1 myself so am not sure if that would work for losing a small amount. 5:2 seems to work for losing at a sensible rate. The reason I went to ADF was a PCOS diagnosis showing me my body reacts to carbs in a hinky way that has a long term risk of coronary artery disease and makes it unusually hard to lose the weight gained in pregnancy (insulin issues). So the more stringent approach works well for me on several levels.[/quote]
