[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 103824, member: 15235"] Two huge red flags make me think this “study” of IF is completely invalid. First, a commonly reported benefit of true fasting is that hunger vanishes, and that is exactly how it worked for me. I do a 16/8 leangains style of eating and I eat because I know I need to support my next workout, not because I have any hunger, so the fact that they reported increased hunger says the mechanisms of fasting were not in place. Second, inserting two low-calorie days is not fasting and cannot be expected to produce the benefits of fasting. Not eating is fasting, so to even call this a study of IF is deceptive. It is a study of intermittent low calories. Something Dr. Fung points out which I have found to be very true for me, is that it is much easier to not eat at all than to try to just eat a small amount. It seems like eating anything at all suddenly turns on a hunger urge. [/QUOTE]
