I get it, it can sting to be corrected. But in the end, having misinformation corrected helps us all (including you --it gives you the chance to share accurate and helpful information in the future).

^This. I don't think IF has any magical properties other than regulating my appetite. A couple of cups of tea with half and half, while technically breaking my fast, aren't enough to set off my appetite. I happily drink them.

Even a single cup of tea sets me off. It is a annoying to have such a hair trigger. I am glad some of you are not so sensitive.

I wish I could eat breakfast.

My tolerance built up over time. I've been skipping breakfast since the 90's. At first I couldn't drink a morning beverage without setting off my appetite either. I've often wondered if it was because I associated it with eating, but who knows?

All I do know is that over time, it got easier to be a bit more relaxed about it. I also have delayed my first meal longer. I don't eat until 3:00 now, and I get up most days by 5:00 at the latest. When I first started, I woke around 6:00 when my daughter woke up and ate around 11:30-12:00.

I think my tolerance has decreased. I have been skipping (most mornings) since the 90's too. I can remember drinking coffee and occasionally even have something small.

About a month ago I had a notion that maybe it was mostly carbs really setting me off so I experimented. I ate my lunch for breakfast which was 2 chicken breasts with an avocado spread on top. It was 482 with 12 carbs My hunger was not as bad and my sugar level didn't tank but it was still a harder day.

I don't appreciate your tone nor your attack on my personal beliefs and chosen profession, so I will not be engaging in any further conversation with you.

What exactly is your "chosen profession"?

Why can't people understand that opinions are not facts?

I see this on every friggin' thread.

We should ignore facts and accept people's feelings?

I reject the term “intermittent fasting” lol. I think it’s over used. People have been skipping breakfast for, forever... before there was some fancy name for it. I just don’t believe it does anything magical for your body other than (maybe) helping you stay within your calories. So coffee with cream (or whatever) is fine. Just my opinion.

IKR? That's why one of the big cliched woo-woo "weight loss tips" has always been - you have to eat breakfast to "jumpstart" your metabolism. Why would they say that unless a lot of people weren't eating breakfast? I don't think I know any women who were in their teens/twenties in the 80's who didn't skip breakfast

I don't find coffee or tea with a little milk start up my appetite. But then a smoothie doesn't either. For me, chewing seems to be the appetite green light.

So again, it really comes down to "why" you are postponing your first meal.

When did telling the truth become "mean and aggressive"?

Since the dawn of mankind.

No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.

I would rather be corrected than be misinformed. These boards have helped me immensely to understand health and nutrition. Living in my own bubble of denial mixed with untruths and just plain ignorance has caused nothing but anguish and failure with my health and wellbeing.

To be educated and empowered from all the information shared here has been nothing short of a miracle. Its liberating to know that I now FINALLY have the knowledge and tools to maintain my weight and overall health.

Its a good idea to read and absorb all the wonderful advice and not to dismiss it so readily.

Geeeeeeze you guys are SOOOOOOOOOOOO boring! Prove this prove that. Where's your faith.

When Jesus told the lads he'd been walking on water did they ask him to prove it?

When Moses came wandering down the mountain with a couple of tablets did the Israelites of ask to authenticate them?

When Muhammad said the Arch Angle Gabriel had told him to read did his wife demand to go up to the cave to meet him herself?

Come on people Acolytes don't need peer reviewed studies we just need a convincing blog post.
