[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You people who say "just eat when you are hungry" as though nobody has ever thought about that sound like privileged idiots who have functioning bodies.

Let me tell you about my body.[b] I have an autoimmune issue that took many years to diagnose, and it'd hard to treat. I am always hungry. ALWAYS. My body does not do or understand satiation. If I ate when I am hungry like you seem to think everyone should do, I could consume 3000-6000 calories a day, easily. I digest very quickly, my body holds on to body fat like there is a famine coming, and I will be ready to eat again maybe 45 minutes after a full meal. [/b]

IF works for me because it is a simple black and white rule that I can live by that prevents excess calorie consumption. Am I restricting myself? Absolutely! Am I hungry during the fasting hours? Yes, of course, but I am hungry during the eating hours too, so that's not new. I have no idea if this is an eating disorder or not, but as my body doesn't understand satiation, it's already disordered so one more disorder is NBD.

I get so sick of the sanctimonious twits who have no idea what some of us live with on a daily basis. [/quote]

If you don't mind sharing, what is your autoimmune disorder? I have a friend who has the same problem but has never been diagnosed with anything. [/quote]
