For anyone who wants more info on the 3 main methods of intermittent fasting, I have just written two articles explaining the methodology, how intermittent fasting works and most importantly why! There is an IF group on MFP, be sure to join it if you would like to talk to like minded people.

    Video series given to trainers and such about intermittent fasting.

    (there are 5)

    Take away: Studies shows intermittent fasting may work, but the studies generally also required calorie restriction which has similar benefits as IF purports to have.

    Yep, which I have written about in the second article. Dr Michael Mosley spoke about this in the BBC Horizon Documentary "Eat, Fast and Live Longer" - Calorie restriction and IF is a recipe for a longer life reaching the possibilities of living 30% longer than an obese person, the body fat of an athlete and it becomes almost impossible to get diabetes and heart disease.

    How do I join the IF group on MFP? Just started IF this past Friday, and so far I'm finding it fits my lifestyle quite well. I want to learn more. Thanks for the post. I will take a look at those when I have a few more minutes.
