As i said, it's in no way for everyone. You've got to do what works for you. For most people yes, it is willpower [to stay within your cal goal on feast days] but for many it is a piece of cake as fasting has lowered their appetite. Most days I find myself under my cal goal (especially when sticking to my whole foods and…

You're the one assuming that a person who can go 24 hours [EDIT: 24 hours 2X] with no food VOLUNTARILY can't refrain from pigging out the other 5 days. Yes, we're both assuming. Your assumption is grasping, and very unlikely. You've got to be able to see that (I'm also ASSUMING that at this point you know you're in the…

For people who are invested in IF. No, they won't feast on their regular days. I have done the 24 hour fast multiple times, it's the only fast I've ever done and it makes me feel great both mentally (I know i can go 24 hours without a bit of food and i feel proud) and physically (I feel alert, energetic, clear headed) I've…

The 24 hour fast is a vehicle for a deficit. It also lowers your appetite. If yo have the willpower to go 24 hours without eating then you're gonna have a weekly deficit. That's as simply as I can put it. Maybe you'll be able to comprehend a shorter sentence. If not, your loss. If you're into books try the book. Then see…

The IF I'm talking about is the one where your "eating window" is every day besides ~2 24 hour periods per week of no eating whatsoever. If you can go 24 hours straight with no eating then you have enough willpower to NOT eat so much in 5 days that you earn back TWO WHOLE DAYS of calories... Not to mention that if you're…

1: Yes, I'm new here (I bet my "3 posts" counter gave it away didn't it. Aw, man) 2: Yes I have checked the IF groups. Do you have a point? 3: I'm speaking of people in GENERAL. Not specifically MFP users. 4: I don't know what version of IF you used, but the 24 hour "Eat Stop Eat" version is both a way of eating and you…

If only more people knew... I mean it seems like almost common sense: Don't eat=Lose weight, but people (myself not excluded) don't think of it because no one talks about it as an option. Makes sense I guess, I mean there would be no $$$ made by supplement manufacturers, diet food companys, diet plan companies,…

@christinev297 Woohoo! Glad to "meet" another IFer, and thank you, I discovered it by complete accident. I used to work for Starbucks (best job in the world, at the right location lol) and I'd work long days as I was an hours hog. Some days when we were busy I'd eat basically nothing but drink a LOT of coffee and I had a…

It's quite possible that you haven't given your body enough time after eating to tap into your fat stores. Think about it, even though you reduced your calorie intake you're still eating regularity. Your body needs to be trained to access your fat stores, which usually happens after 18 hours of fasting. How late are you…
