[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eat enough calories. That’s it. No one in America who has a calorically adequate diet is actually protein-deficient.[/quote]
Agree.  All the middle aged 125 lb women on here saying they “need” 100+ grams of protein are misguided.  If you are eating a balanced diet that includes dairy/meat, get enough calories, and aren’t training to be a body builder, you are getting enough protein [/quote]

If she feels good on 100g then why not? Her body is telling her 100g is working for her. Middle aged women have big jobs and multiple kids and may skip a meal now and then, if you lift, that’s tough on the body, so an extra boost here and there should be ok. Everybody is different. When I did IF with about 40g protein I would get sick constantly, and I would sleep a lot. 80-100g puts me in a state of mental clarity and 7hr zzz is more than enough. [/quote]

Sometime your body tells you things feel good that are not, in the long run, good for you. Surely this is not new news.

IF itself is bunk so I can’t help you there. [/quote]

IF is not bunk at all.  It’s great for your body to go through fasting periods.[/quote]
Yes, there is good science about IF, but not for weight loss. Those crazy Soviets had fasting clinics in the 70s and they worked for illnesses. They would do 40 day fasts, but controlled by doctors and in a "rehab" centers, so to say.

There isn’t any valid science on this. All the most recent research confirms it’s nothing more than a calorie restriction tool. Taken to the extreme it has negative impact on your body muscle composition.

Just stop eating so much and don’t eat junk. [/quote]

Recently some pretty good science has come out about the benefits of IF. Read Michael Moseley's book. [/quote][/quote]
