This should generate some "healthy" discussion.

    To all who commented, thanks. I stand by what I shared and you stand by yours. How wonderful it is that we can freely express. Nuff said, suggest we move on. What’s the weather supposed to be today?

    That's not going to generate the healthy discussion you mentioned in your first post man...

    What I truly don't understand is that you have people responding who have lived IF for years, sometimes decades..40 years in @snickerscharlie 's case if I'm not mistaken. Why aren't their points given the same credence as the gent in the video?

    We can't state "to each their own" without giving due hearing to those who's 'own' differs from ours.

    There's some interesting stuff going on regarding IF. It fits my eating patterns on quite a few days. I understand it, and I support it for those who choose to do it, but also recognize that for each point I may agree with, I need to be willing to hear the points that disagree with mine as well.

    Your memory serves you well. Perhaps that's another undiscovered miracle advantage to IF? :D

    I stopped eating breakfast in my early 20's. I'm 65 this year.

    :D Just another reason why I love ya :)

    I'm inordinately fond of you, too.

    Now get off my lawn. :D

    Ok ok! Back on the curb now :p

    @pierinifitness - Perhaps you could request a mod move this to debate? I honestly don't think anyone is attacking your preferred WoE, or what worked for you. I've seen numerous posters state something along the lines of not yet having enough research to fully know all the effects of IF long term/short term or whatever.

    I've personally been into fitness and eating properly off and on for about 40 years. I'm not in the shape I used to be for a variety of factors, and would have been well within my rights to say that what I did worked for me. What I did not know was "Why" what I did worked for me, or why some other things didn't. I've been corrected a fair number of times here and that spurred me to begin to learn how to research what I needed to in order to begin lining up facts. One thing I've always promised myself is to never let myself get too old or too stubborn to learn.

    So...there is a component of truth to "to each their own" but there are also a wide range of factors that we all have in common to varying degrees.

    A topic like this really can spur some rich discussion and opportunities to learn if everyone participates with an open mind.

    Just my 2 cents...

    Anyone can request a mod move a thread by going to the OP and clicking Flag > Report > Other and a comment like "Please consider moving this contentious topic to Debate."

    Ah did not know that, thanks!

    edit: Done.

    Dear Members,

    We appreciate you contacting us with a request to move this topic to the Debate section.

    Please note that the description of the Debate section is as follows:

    This forum category, Debate: Health and Fitness, has been created for members to have respectful discussions as it relates to contentious topics (i.e. - sugar addiction, etc...) and emerging science and nutrition policy. The main goal of this forum is to provide a specific area to have discussions on nutrition topics that are highly debated; aka hot topics.

    Participation in this category requires that you have a genuine interest in the topic, and all responses and debate should be done in a respectful manner. If you are not interested in such topics, please do not post in this section. Posts dedicated as a means to troll or intentionally cause drama, will be considered a violation of the community guidelines.

    Given that the majority of the responses to this discussion are unrelated to the content presented in the video in the OP, and are either off-topic, discussing the posting behavior of other users, or referencing previous discussions and reviving the drama from those discussions, it does not appear that this discussion would be an appropriate fit for the Debate section and the expectation of that section.

    Please also note that if a topic is moved the Debate section, anyone who participated in the topic, including the OP, may choose not to return to discuss the topic, as the expectation is that community members who participate in that section are doing so with a genuine interest and availability to read and review research presented, as well as presenting research themselves to support their position. Not everyone has that level of interest or time to devote to a discussion.

    Any community members wishing to debate this topic are welcome to create their own discussion in the Debate section and link to the video presented in this discussion (not this discussion) in their post.

    The way I look at any sort of fasting, and this is solely my opinion: I don't care about the supposed benefits, only how it benefits me. I don't care if it's going to help my body renew cells faster or how I'm "supposed" to do it. I have used IF in the past, sort of. (A girl needs creamer in her coffee. To me, black coffee is sacrilegious.) Right now, I'm trying 5:2, but I'm purposely doing it wrong. (500 net calories per day, 2 days a week. That has me losing about a pound a week on paper, but I just started.) I don't care about no stinkin' science, lol, just what helps me lose.
