[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Intermittent fasting is a technique of consciously extending the time between meals as a way to decrease insulin production (which is connected to glucose and yes, to weight, including maintenance.  For insulin resistant people it can be very useful and healthy. There is research supporting it, see "The obesity Code". 
Anorexia is psychological and while it perhaps can  look like fasting, actually has complicated psychological,  emotional and biological drivers[/quote]

My siblings and I are either prediabetic (15+ years) or now full diabetic.    Very fit, active - never obese.  But terrible genetics.   IF works extremely well for us Reducing our blood sugars and A1C in ways that diet can’t do alone and  allows us to eat more.   We don’t do any extreme version of IF and are flexible   It’s very sustainable.  Our doctors are very supportive and believe this keeps us away from meds longer and healthier

Anyone can take a diet and be disordered    But don’t judge everyone. For some, this keeps us healthier.  [/quote]
