Understanding Insulin is key to weight control

I haven't watched the video either, though have read some of the Fung articles. I don't profess to know enough about the science to fully follow either side of the argument. I agree with StealthHealth: no one approach to dieting is likely to suit everyone. I have found low carbing suits me very well and am now a healthy BMI for the first time in my adult life. YMMV.5

Another meta-analysis (1975 to 2014), 6 studies explored.

Some of those are not on even footings though, they were VLCD vs LCD rather than just IER vs CER.

That's the whole point, there is no one way.
Congratulations on your weight loss and finding your way of succeeding.3 -

Here's some research for you all. Love this discussion. Just keep in mind I'm not just talking about losing weight.
Something to consider that might help you in your quest for knowledge OP.....
Which of these two methods have you been using?
A/ Searches for facts, truth and evidence - then reaches a conclusion.
B/ Reach a conclusion - then search for 'facts', 'truth' and 'evidence' to support that conclusion.

Yeah that one isn't completely related, but my point was to counter the woo!1 -
OP, the problem people are having with this is that there is no clear studies/data that shows that IF is better than any other regiment. It might be better for you, it's better for me, but it's not better for everyone.

Pretty much.3 -
Please show results of each of the plans you follow. At 39 I'll compare my physique to anyone and my blood work too. Main stream has pushed this western type diet to all of you becouse it is a cash cow for them. In reality obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer can all be mitigated through fasting. If you haven't researched or tried it you really shouldn't comment.
What would it prove if we compared our results against yours? That your goals are different? That you have been at this longer?
I have done IF.. it was terrible for me. I was constantly hungry, had horrible breath and always tired. 3 large meals are much better for me and I never saw improved loss with IF.
But if you want how about you compare fung against the likes of Dr. Layne Norton, Dr. Brad Shoenfeld, Alan Aragon, Eric Helms, etc... they are all in the bodybuilding world and have education in the field.
ETA: I am down 50 lbs and about 16% body fat. I didn't, until recently, want to cut lower than that.. so I am now working on that. I don't compete or what to. But if you want, come into the bodybuilding section and you will have more people who are in that world.5 -
I did IF protocols for my weight loss phase and then a few years of maintenance (ADF, 5:2IF and then 16:8 IF). I also controlled my calorie intake during that time, and always made sure my calorie intake lined up with my weight management goals.
I no longer do IF because I got bored with it and I'm still successfully maintaining my 50lb loss and better health markers. Per my daily weigh-in this morning my bmi is 20.3 and blood work I had done last month, while no longer doing IF, put my fasting glucose at an 86 (used to be a pre-diabetic before the weight loss), total cholesterol at a 165, triglycerides at a 62 etc etc. I have records of all my blood work for the past 4 years of maintenance and they've stayed pretty similar, with or without IF being a factor.
As far as appearance goes-no noticeable difference with or without IF as well. I'm almost a 39 year old mom of 3 kids who doesn't have an interest in looking a certain way. I walk a few times a week for health and that's good enough for me. I fit in my size 4 jeans nicely and after almost 15 years of marriage my husband and I still go at it like rabbits, so it's all good
I enjoyed doing IF for a while but it didn't do anything magical for me.7 -
Colombia university has studies to back this up. If your running marathons fasting may not be for you but you should look into ketosis dieting. Fat give you more sustained energy for your run.RuNaRoUnDaFiEld wrote: »Please show results of each of the plans you follow. At 39 I'll compare my physique to anyone and my blood work too.

You didn't answer my questions.
Physique has nothing to do with anything. I think my endurance running times would suffer if my physique was like your own.
Please show me the studies that IF is any better than cutting calories?
And to say you can mitigate cancer by it is just dangerous and stupid imo.
Even though I enjoy a good fasted run, carbs give me energy for cardio, personally.
You do realize the world is made up of very unique individuals, right?7 -

Ah yes the true sign that somebody is completely ignorant to somebody else's needs and wants. The whole "one size fits all" plan that many trainers dole out because they don't want to actually find out what's best for other people, they are just concerned with what worked for them. These are always the people too steer clear of because they will push their diet and exercise on you like the plague and ignore everything you tell them.

...wait- did this bro actually say CANCER can be mitigated by fasting?
... Well you better call MD Anderson and tell them the good news! I bet they cant wait to hear all about your research!!13 -

No need to quote people, we're all wrong and it's easier to throw garbage to the wind rather than admitting he doesn't have any evidence.
It's telling that rather than debate the merits of the points others made he immediately wanted to compare physiques, as if everyone has the same goals.17 -

He certainly did.
We are still awaiting the research links.5 -

The key to weight control is adherence. Period. If IF and lower carb are sustainable to you then that's what you need to do. I've done both during competition prep and it did not work for me because it was not sustainable.
Insulin is an important factor to people who have medical conditions.8 -
I came across an article the other day talking about long term sustained weight loss and discovered the National Weight Control Registry. There are a bunch of links that dive into the various factors behind actually sustaining weight loss and they range from psychological, behavioral, exercise, and the type of diet. As for diet there was no one method that had a higher percentage of success. I hope they continue to add to and expand their research.
