[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the comments about the kids/daughters watching this, I have girls and they have no idea I've been doing this for 5 months. They don't notice that I wait a few hours until I eat breakfast and they don't notice that I don't snack at night. Otherwise, they see me eat what they do and don't see any dieting whatsoever. They would be exposed to more if I was cutting out certain food groups and they saw me not eating those at dinner or counting calories or whatever. My routine hasn't changed enough for them to see anything negative or to think I'm dieting.[/quote]

If you only shift your schedule by a few hours, that's one thing.  I suspect posters are referring to those eating between 10-2 or not eating 2 days a week.

It is really disturbing to think that our society condones that and doesn't recognize it for what it is, which is phenomenally disordered.[/quote]

OMG, give it up. Please just stop. The vast majority of intermittent fasters are not doing anything "phenomenally disordered." I don't feel like parsing every posting, but a 16-8 schedule is not phenomenally disordered, and neither is a 5-2 schedule in which you take in 500 calories on your "fast" day. There may be one person here who posts about longer or more frequent fasting, but "intermittent fasting" is not inherently disordered and you should not feel disturbed.[/quote]

Not sure why you think it's only one person posting. 
16:8, sure.
Not eating more than 500 calories a day, two days a week?  Messed up.
Eating only between 10a-2p?  Messed up.
This is disordered eating and it can ruin your life (and your children's lives, and your relationships with them).  Trust me.  Or don't, and keep drinking that Kool-Aid.[/quote]
