    I used to at times do no eating for 3 days... very difficult but would lose 10 pounds. .. then gradually go back to regular diet... woukd gain back 5.. probably water weight but the other 5 woukd stay off...

    That is not intermittent fasting.

    I do IF 16:8 everyday, and train fasted. I use the leangains method. I absolutely love it.. and I always had those last 5-10 lbs around my tummy.. they are gone.. and now i have a 6 pack! It is the only way i eat now. And i am NEVER HUNGRY and i get to "binge" after work which has always been my weight loss problem, without going over my daily calories. I love to eat one big meal and feel super full and not guilty!

    I naturally have started IF though this journey, I typically don't eat until anywhere between noon and 2pm. I typically don't get hungry until then. Only prob with that is that since I started maintenance I am having a very hard time getting enough calories in and I am still losing weight BUT I can still "afford" to lose at this point so I am not worrying about it yet.

    I just started 16:8 two days ago. I struggle to lose weight but I weighed myself this morning and, over my two day period on 16:8, I've already lost .6 pounds! I know that's not much in the scheme of things but in two days It's pretty good and exciting to be seeing progress again!

    I do it in the form of 4 or 5 days normal healthy eating and 3 days hardcore calorie restricting :) I love it because just as I start to use my calories in the form of naughty food, I start the 3 days and it makes me appreciate fruit, veg, porridge. Completely resets my eating so I don't turn to junk. Really keeps me in control :)

    I'm thinking about this, but I love food so wondering if I can stick with it :neutral:

    I think people need to learn to eat intuitively, and lesson to their bodies, and not have society or the clock tell them when their body needs fuel.
    By the way, I'm on MFP for the last 2 months to lose 10 lbs that I couldn't seem to lose since turning 50 and between MFP and IF I've lost 6 lbs so far.

    I agree with everything you said up until this last part. While this works for you, the intuitive eating, for most people trying to loose weight this is bad advice. Years of not eating right, and eating more than they need is not a good start for ie. After loosing weight and keeping it off, sure.
