Is anyone here on MFP following a CRON lifestyle, or considering it? If you don't know what CRON is, see:

    I am. Never thought there was a name for this, I just thought it was the right way to diet. Thanks for the links.

    You're welcome! :) It's a lifestyle I'm still just learning about/exploring, but I think it makes so much sense, and the science definitely seems to back it up.

    Definitely NOT for me. I am losing weight and feeling great while enjoying every bit of my food including my snacks.

    Whatever makes you happy! But the point of CRON, as I understand it, isn't really weight loss (although that is a side effect). It's health and life-extension. Just to clarify! :) I know most MFPers are looking to lose weight and are less concerned with life-extension, so I expect that there probably aren't a lot of people here who are doing it, but I figured there might be a few who are.
