Anything that restricts your diet in some way will most likely restrict your calories as well. Much better to simply be aware of what you're eating and not rely on gimmicks or "tricking" your metabolism.
IF is not "tricking" you metabolism. lol0 -

To answer OP questions:
I do a 16:8 mostly. Sometimes I'm not hunger at lunch and it turns into a 20:4.
I was a former 6 meal a day guy. IF is 100x better for me. Appetite control was much better. Also, not having to prepare 6 meals a day was nice.
I've lost 30lbs in the last 7 months using IF and IIFYM.
The 2 day per week of IF is a lot harder than the 16:8. I've tried it once and didn't care for it. But, it may be different for you.0 -
I've been doing the 16/8 IF for a week and have lost 5lbs so far.0

To the OP: There are several different styles (or methods, or whatever you want to call them) of intermittent fasting, as you have seen by several of the responses to your thread. None of them will put you in "starvation mode", as the quoted poster alluded to in the text she cut-and-pasted from another site.0

I've been doing daily 16:8 IF for a week, and I've been feeling great. It was admittedly hard the first three days, but I'm finally able to control my appetite, thanks to learning that it's okay to be hungry. I eat 1500 kcal a day within my 8-hour feeding window, and do muscle training on alternating days, along with a bit of daily cardio in the morning.
The biggest change to my body is how smooth my digestive system is working now. My metabolism was pretty low before IF, and I would get constipated easily and feel bloated. I know this sounds gross, but I feel like my intestines have been given time to 'reboot' every night, thus aiding in digestion. This has also led to clearer skin and better sleep for me. Has anyone else experienced this?0
