[quote=Anonymous][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]

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]
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.[/quote]

OK, you said one partially accurate thing, pat yourself on the back. IF doesn't contribute to weight loss if you keep eating the same amount of calories in a smaller eating window, that's true. BUT IF effective for weight loss as a tool for reducing daily calorie totals.

Miss me with your 70s Soviet studies. Did you find that in the same place that told you the cavemen outlived us?

There's recent science--a number of studies--backing up what pp says about IF being good for your body in other ways. In particular, IF reduces inflammation, addresses insulin resistance, and that, plus the associated drop in calories, reduces the risk of things like breast cancer and is even really helpful during cancer chemotherapy treatments with cancer patients doing IF having better treatment results. I sort of hate that I spent any time at all on an angry, idiotic troll, but google results of studies by Harvey and Howell at Manchester University, Valter Longo at USC, and others. [/quote]
