[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 weeks in IF.  [b]No changes to food.  Now I have reduced the carbs [/b]and the weight is melting. I do not want to do 'no carb'.  I will always eat nutritious food, and eat till I am satiated.  IF works and is easy. [/quote]

LOL I'd consider reducing carbs to be a change to food. I'd also bet the reduction in carbs is the reason you are losing weight, not the fact that you are doing IF. [/quote]

Ugh. My shorthand obviously confused you.  I started seeing results in 2 weeks doing IB with no changes in food.  Then, after the 2 weeks were over, I reduced bad carbs and replaced with good carbs and the weight was shed more quickly.   I think without changing anything in your food, [b]your calorie consumption will still be less in IF because you are trying to eat 3 meals in 8 hours.[/b]   If you drop your soda and junk food habit, then you lose more. If you exchange bad carbs for good carbs, you lose even more etc.[/quote]

This (bolded part) is not inherently true. Calories are calories, three meals is three meals.  Unless you reduce the size or quantity of meals, than it's the same amount of calories. Some people claim they haven't changed food during IF, but they've either cut out snacks (including wine at night), or they've reduced the calories consumed due to time restrictions (or being full during their eat times, which is still a reduction).

Eating 1800 calories in 8 hours or 12, is still 1800 calories.  It's not magic.  Something always changes.  [/quote]
