[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]IF isn't magic.  It's just eating less.

If you're hungry in the mornings, eat some hard-boiled eggs or some other high-protein breakfast.  Focus on real foods.  Don't snack.

If you're dieting, plan your meals, track your calories on myfitnesspal or some other free software/app, eat around 20% less than your TDEE maintenance.  [/quote]

Stop spreading misinformation.  Intermittent fasting isn't about eating less.  It's about hormones.  It's about keeping insulin as low as possible so your body can burn fatty acids for energy rather than store energy as fat, which insulin tells your body to do.

I actually eat eat more calories daily with IF than I ever did with calorie restriction diets like Weight Watchers.  But because I eat an LCHF diet withib an 8 hour eating window most days, I have lost 60 lbs.  it's NOT about eating less.  It's about eating less often during the day.

OP, have you tried bulletproof coffee or cream or MCT oil?  I have tea with cream and MCT most mornings.  It keeps me totally saturated until at least noon and the MCT is amazing for mental focus.[/quote]

Sorry for the typo...I meant *satiated, not saturated!!![/quote]
