It’s easy with empty shelves joe.
A wheat free diet can achieve most of the things in this plan along with not leaving you hungry and thus likely to binge. I fast on occasion to “reset” myself, but I don’t do it regularly in an attempt to drop weight.
A routine weekly colonoscopy prep will do the same trick. If enough people do it, that might lead to another toilet paper shortage...
“University of Illinois Chicago researchers says that intermittent fasting can produce clinically significant weight loss as well as improve metabolic health in individuals with obesity”
Whatever it takes to get the obese to stop eating.
Study costing how much? It only supports what has been known for a few thousand years.
So what do you do, eat pretty much what you want (within reason) within a window of time each day? I’ve heard some say the window starts when you have coffee in the morning even if you done eat for a couple of hours.

Book Summary: Life in the Fasting Lane
So how long do they recommend the fast to be and how many days a week etc. Also how is one supposed to work or clean house when they are weak from not eating?
Started a 16/8 IF program in April and have lost 25 lbs....I’m 70 and it’s the EASIEST WEIGHT LOSS IN MY LIFE. Finish eating by 8 p.m., don’t eat until noon the next day - effectively, I skip breakfast everyday. I’m a healthy eater anyway, but it is so nice not to worry about carbs, fats, calories, etc. etc. Last time I was this light I had followed the Zone diet (very prescribed proportions of fats/carbs/protein); it took over my life and I was hungry ALL the time. Would definitely recommend.

The best diet is to write down all the foods you like. Next stop eating them because if you like it, it’s obviously bad for you.
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting with weekly extended fasts of 30-70 hours since July of 2020. At that time, A1C indicated insulin resistance, with number high enough to qualify as “pre diabetic”. My GP said I could either go on insulin, which would cause weight gain, or lose weight. Then she recommended “The Obesity Code (The Wellness Code)” by Dr. Jason Fung, a Canadian nephrologist. Read it, started it, combined with sort-of Keto (eliminated gluten products and refined carbs, but did not keep to a strict limit on carbs), and have so far lost between 75 and 80 pounds. Need to lose 40-45 more. Big difference, though, was that almost immediately I started feeling better - less joint pain, more energy. My A1C numbers dropped to the “normal” range within 3 months. My cholesterol numbers dropped enough that I was able to eliminate both statin drugs from my regimen. Haven’t been able to eliminate the BP meds yet, but am hopeful that will come soon.
I didn’t like it kept passing out
