      Excuse my ignorance but what is the IF diet?

      My bad.Intermittent fasting/5:2.That's fasting for 2 alternate days a week.

      All the best to you, intermittent fasting works for sure, for as long as you don't cheat :smile:

      No.

      Welcome aboard OP :) I did alternate day IF for my weight loss phase, 5:2IF as my transition plan from weight loss to maintenance and I now do 16:8IF as part of my maintenance plan. Love IF and I'll most likely do it in some form for the rest of my life. There's quite a few IF'ers here, most do 16:8IF though there's a few ADF/5:2IFers too :)

      True that girl.I totally agree.Now I can't even think of any other diet plus I hate those kind of diets where they ask you to eat 5-6 times a day.One I hate cooking.2 I can't be eating all day long,I have better things to do:).These days I'm doing 5:2 or sometimes 5:3,trying to get back into shape before I start my work again.There's no way it won't work as long as you being a good girl.Just remember it takes time we need to be patient.Good luck ladies.
