Late to the thread as usual, sorry.
What is this "intermittent fasting?" I've heard of a diet program where one does near-total-fast one day, and eats to satiety the next, (modified caloric restriction) and the pounds just drop off...
Is this something similar?
Cheers!
That's the one. It's a bit more flexible than that, but that is the gist of it. It goes by a lot of slightly different approaches, but fast/eat is the gist of it. My current regime is to fast/eat 20/4 (eating window from 4-8pm) on MWF, and "just eat normally" during the 4-8 window and TThSS.
I've dropped from 237 to 221 in the last three months, and find it to be FAR easier than any other approach. Best single site I've found is www.leangains.com, but searching on "intermittent fasting" gets lots of info.
The biggest shocker for me is just flat not being all that hungry, having higher energy, and better mental clarity on the fast days, effects I simply just did NOT expect. I have a tendency towards hypoglycemia (reactive, not chronic), and no problems with blood sugar, either.
