    I don't buy that all. That being said, I could totally eat a huge breakfast, large lunch and skip dinner altogether. In fact, I used to eat that way before I was married and had a family to feed at supper.

    If eating 2 meals a day suits you, go for it.

    Absolutely. Two meals a day is fine. So is one. So are three, four, five, six or sixteen. As long as one maintains a consistent caloric deficit, they'll lose weight/fat.

    But Mercola tho...... :#

    Hahaha even a stopped clock is right twice a day ;)

    If, after a year and a half, you still need a beginners guide to IF, then it seems that it's not that intuitive or easy for you.

    Some people find it easy to do and that's great, but it's still just am eating pattern and there's no metabolic magic behind it.

    And Mercola can still stuff it.

    I eat 5 to 6x per day, which works well for me (from both a performance and a physique standpoint).

    If 2x per day works for you, roll with it.

    it doesnt matter if you eat once, twice or 8 times a day as long as you are in a calorie deficit.

    I might be a bit off, but I believe it's a process. Learning a new habit/way of eating/etc is a process. Stay with it, refine your goals and foods as you go along and try to not be too rigid with yourself. You'll see improvement over time. Hang in there.

    I have 3 meals and 3 snacks per day which is ideal for me. But what... I don't fast, I eat right before bed, I eat carbs every few hours. Guess my body isn't burning fat? :'( .... :D Not sure where he is getting his info from

    Thisss! I hate that empty low blood sugar shaky feeling, which I tend to get if I don't eat for more than 4-5 hours. Give me regular small snacks and meals (with carbs!) and I'm happy.
