What motivates you to continue to IF?

It seems very common for people to use IF to get a calorie deficit. I don't think a fast is really needed to do that, I'm much more interested with improvements in hormones. I really never gave it much thought but early this year I decide to lose some more weight and so I just cut deserts and snacks. I was shocked when I didn't have much hunger as hunger was always a problem for me. As I experimented I landed on cutting refined sugar from my diet was really helping me with not feeling so hungry. I tweaked further and now my daily added sugar is from about 5g to 20g. What really shocked me was when my pants started slipping down, in just a few months my waistline (across belly button) shrunk 8 cm. I did lose a few kg, but not enough to account for that much change. So I started learning more about hormones and that got me interested in IF. A few months ago I would have said IF was crazy.0
