Intermittent fasting support

Hi! I am a 50 year old type 2 diabetic woman. I have done IF before with good results, but I never paid attention to what I was eating when I ate. I'm committing 1/1/23 to doing IF correctly. Friend request me and let's support each other!

    Hey there! I’ve been reading about IF. I’m 55 also type 2. Looking to lose 75 lbs in 2023. Do you think IF really works?

    Do you think IF really works?

    Only if the result is weight loss. It's like any other weight loss strategy and apparently IF is a new weight loss strategy according to social media for example, so it must be true. Personally I don't think that is the case. It has some value metabolically but it is not a magic weight loss bullet imo. Also not to be confused with timed restricted feeding (TRF). cheers
