[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It really is not. And by far out society does not condone this at all, that is a false statement. In fact our society condones just the opposite non stop eating and snacking, how is that not messed up? What is disordered is eating non stop, humans are not meant to eat this much at all. I wonder why is it hard for you to even contemplate educating yourself a little about it?[/quote]

DP.  Anecdotally, I know of a few people who have done IF and have regretted it, because their metabolism changed for the worse.  I also know people who have done Atkins (years ago) and keto (more recently), some with success and most not.  Sure, some people do better with frequent smaller meals and others do better with larger meals.  Too many calories, though, whether spread out through the day or consolidated, are too many calories.   Both IF and keto/low carb are really different ways to suppress appetite, allowing a person to more easily eat less overall.  Both of them can work for some people and be harmful for others.  And in the end, if someone is modifying their diet to lose weight, then a maintenance diet will be different than the weight loss diet.  Keto, IF, low carb, whatever, are not long-term, sustainable, forever diets.

PP you replied to. Finally someone with some common sense. Yes, they are weight loss tools, and people need to figure out what works for them if they wish to lose weight. None are meant to be used for years and years and as a life style. [b]Eating healthy and in moderation, with some physical activity should be a health goal for all[/b].[/quote]

I'lm the pp who used the phenomenally disordered language, and I agree wholeheartedly.[/quote]
