[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like the intermittent fasting craze is just people who want to severely restrict calories and/or be obsessive about their food in an "acceptable" way vs. being labeled as having an eating disorder.

THANK YOU.[/quote]

Except that most people who do it are overweight and need to severely restrict calories to lose weight effectively. Or they are a tiny bit plumper than they prefer and have to go the scorched earth route to lose any weight.

I dont IF, but I like to diet before vacations so that I can eat whatever I want. I am already slim (BMI at 19) so if I want to move the scale at all, I have to severely restrict calories.  That isn't disordered eating. Disordered would be prolonged dieting the point of nutritional deficiency, overeating to the point of excess weight, or using techniques like throwing up that can destroy organs.  Eating one meal a day- that's just a calorie control technique. [/quote]

Why are you wanting to move the scale any direction but up with a BMI of 19?  Vacation or otherwise, you do realize you are teetering on being underweight and shouldn't be trying to lose weight ever.  [/quote]

You're missing the point. BMI 19 isn't underweight and losing 5 lbs doesn't make me underweight- it doesn't even move me below 19. The point is that you can restrict calories, even "severely" without having a mental illness. [/quote]
