    Yes, you could describe this as a 15:9 intermittent fasting plan, where you fast for 15 hours a day and eat your daily calories in the other 9.

    Fasting is not eating. 15 hours of not eating is not considered a fasting plan. Not yet, not officially. But you can consider it whatever you want. When you eat makes no difference to anything except your happiness and appetite, and thus willingness and ability to stick to an appropriate amount of calories, so it's not unimportant.

    And then what?

    What happens between 11:30 am and 8:30 pm?

    I do the IF...and even I'm annoyed by the amount of threads. But this is nowhere NEAR the amount of Keto threads.

    I don't understand why there has been a sudden deluge of fasting posts over the past few weeks. Is there a new book or "documentary" out about it?

    Not in my opinion but now that so many people want to have special terms for normal behavior you can call it whatever you want.

    This. Is. Hilarious

    Honestly not sure. I don't really keep up with it. If someone asks me why I don't eat breakfast, I'll say "Oh, I'm doing IF" after explaining, some people will say, "Yea, I've been doing that for years. Didn't know it was called anything" lol.

    Facebook, probably. It's where all the BS comes from.
    That's one of many reasons I deleted my FB account.

    I don't get it. It sounds like a normal eating pattern lol Why is IF a thing? We've been doing it for forever. When I was a kid we would eat breakfast at 8am, lunch at 12, and supper at 5. And then a 15 hour "fast". Do people not track their calories during their "non-fast" period? If you do then why restrict yourself even more?
