    what do you mean it doesnt work? intermittent fasting can help you stick to your calorie intake so it does work for that and it has been proven to help some with insulin levels BUT,if you are trying to lose weight you still need to eat in a deficit. I do IF only because Im not much for eating breakfast and never was,I do 16:8. there are several kinds of intermittent fasting though.

    What is your Goal? Weight loss? If so, eat less than you use on a consistent basis. If Intermittent Fasting helps you maintain a calorie deficit, good.

    I do IF. I have for most of my life, I just call it, "Eating two meals a day."

    It works for people who find that eating breakfast makes them more hungry throughout the day. That's why I do IF. I don't start eating until 2 pm, and I'm able to stick to my calorie deficit. If I eat breakfast, I'm sooooooo hungry for the rest of the day and I just can't shove enough food in my face. Not eating until 2 significantly reduces my appetite.

    I do 16:8. I have been doing it for about a month and have lost 22 lbs. It has really helped me.
