[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We seriously need a new forum about this. There’s a post similar to this every day.

you are eating fewer calories so you are losing weight.[/quote]

That's all it is.  It's great that it's working, but 'eat less move more' is and has always been the gold standard.[/quote]

But eating less on a consistent basis is HARD. It is very hard in fact - very few people lose weight and stay there.

People like me like IF because it makes eating less easier and therefore sustainable. I am not sure if it's biology or psychology, probably a combination of both. But here are the facts: I was a person who would eat a "healthy" meal at 12 and then despair that a crappy snack (apple) is 3 hours away. It felt impossible to wait so long (and for what) and I would often break down and binge. I can now easily go  20 hours without food (though I am not forcing myself - it just happens sometimes). I just don't think about food that much - and that alone is a life-saver. I also don't feel particularly hungry - I would register hunger maybe once during 20 hours. (I am OP of the other thread).[/quote]

That's great that it's working for you and I genuinely mean that.  But posts like yours are why people say it's a form of disordered eating / for people who can't self-regulate.  if you 'despair' about a 'crappy snack' and binge eat, you don't have a healthy relationship with food.  Not sure why so many IF'ers refuse to acknowledge that.[/quote]

But she doesn't despair and binge.  That is the point.  She has a healthy relationship with food NOW.....while intermittent fasting.[/quote]

..because she has an eating disorder.  No one is saying it doesn't work for her.  Just that it's the latest method for the disordered eaters to try to regain control.[/quote]
I really think coming on an internet thread and calling out eating disorders when you have so few facts is a special kind of crazy. There is nothing healthy or helpful about your attitude. [/quote]
