I'm giving it a try for the first time today. Trying to boost my fat loss. Shooting for a 20 hour fast today.
If you study the science behind it it makes a lot of sense, not just for fat loss but for overall health.

It works. I stop eating about 7 pm, start again at noon.

I'm really interested in how it can impact insulin sensitivity and growth hormone.

I only eat twice a day. I have a big lunch and a normal size dinner. Sometimes I'll throw in a snack if I feel like it. Usually eat lunch around 11 or noon and dinner is usually between 6 and 7. I feel soooo much better eating this way. I never liked eating 6 times per day and I especially never liked eating breakfast. I used to cram food in because I thought I needed to for my gainz. I'd end up at work farting, bloated and feeling like total shit. Eating the way I do now is a lot more convenient and I'm definitely leaner. I think everyone is different and some people do well eating a bunch of smaller meals per day. Just try it and see how you feel.

go read a book...

Not intentionally, skip breakfast on work days because find it easier to work and can’t be bothered to eat before work would rather sit around and have a few cups of tea before setting off

The metabolic effects of fasting are overstated imo .. it works because you're naturally going to consume less calories in a 4-hour window compared to a 16-hour window
anyways, i've been doing it for years now. more for convenience than anything else but it does work to stay trim with little effort.

Been doing it for a couple of months. Not so bad.

I've been watching this dude talk about it on Youtube and he was making sense.

Good way to slow down your metabolism to a crawl

I can't speak on those two aspects but you feel better. It gives your digestive system a break each day. I go cycling on an empty stomach most mornings and feel great doing this. As for the comment that it "slows your metabolism to a crawl"- I haven't experienced that all.
It works simply because you calorie restrict. It is easier to lose weight this way, for me, because it trains me to deal with being slightly hungry. I lose about 3 pounds a week on this approach.

I tried it for a three months period from december 2016 till february 2017 but didn't do it right.I started again in mid june of last year and with zero effort lost 84 lbs. till now and I am almost to my desired weight.Start eating at 4pm with a big bowl of salad, then at 7pm I have bunch of seeds and nuts and at 10pm a protein bar /Costco's version of Quest bars/.Never had an issue with hunger except sometimes I start eating at 2pm instead of 4pm.Also during the summer I used to add a couple protein shakes in the mix at 5am and 12pm and do so occasionally.Used to go to the gym 3-4 times a week and then for the last 4 months I am doing only 1-2 times per week /too much work/ but slowly getting back to 3-4 times a week.Also I take a lot of supplements on a daily basis for 10 months of the year.

That's what I used to think. I used to think that I had to eat a bunch of small meals throughout the day to keep my muscles fed and to keep my metabolism going.
The dude in the video I posted above has a lot of videos on the science of fasting and it's pretty convincing.
-
Our ancestors were likely intermittent fasters.
I stop eating at around 900pm and eat about 12pm next day.
-
shit works
for mesomorph type build (me) the best way to fast is do a 36 hour fast 1x a week.
so last meal is Saturday night (then dont eat all on sunday) then eat meal1 monday AM
hardest 1x per fast - no coffee, no lemon juice, no bcaas. only water

Trying to boost my fat loss.
No such shortcut imo except drugs. Any super fat loss strategy leads to super crappy workouts and muscle loss. At most I'll do one day carb free if doing cardio only.
Broken record says: 500 cals under daily maintenance, high protein, low GI carbs, patience.
-
I've done IF in the past, but don't strictly follow the clock anymore. I like my breakfast and I like my dinners, and so I eat a couple of big meals each day with a lighter meal or snack in between. Prefer this to the 5-6 meals per day which I did throughout my 20s & 30s.

The originator/most balanced/sensical approach to this style of dieting for those who work out. Not a magic bullet by any means but just another form of a style of eating.
I found no difference between normal (4 meals throughout the day vs IF). As has the most recent study that followed the "Leangains" style (12-8). You can eat bigger meals probably and that helps with being fuller or helpful to immediately cut out a meal (breakfast) while dieting. Everything works essentially. Some are easier to stick to for people then others.

I like IF because I'm too lazy to cook. :) :D

i think besides bbing - the unhealthy should try it - digestion is so backed up for most people
again do the 24-36 hour fast! no bcaas, no tea, no coffee, nada - 1 gallon of water

Mr. Canada John Cardillo use to fast one day per week during contest prep. Another interesting fact is that he trained with hit. Just like Yates he started using two work sets per exercise but eventually settled on one work set after warm up. He liked higher reps than Yates for his one set.

Yes, I consider myself very well versed in intermittent fasting and ketogenic dieting. What would you like to know?

Nibiru or Wormwood aka The Destroyer is a wandering star. Stars are not the bullshit lies they told you and that you believe and they're not light years away. All lies. You're stuck under the dome with me like everyone else in the history of existence except for Christ.
We're under a firmament on a concave or flat earth. This is reality. There is no "outer space". All bullshit. Hope this helps.
Anyway, back to intermittent fasting.
-
I do it for the convenience. 16 hours fasting...8 hours eating. So much easier. I feel better and look better. Eating takes up a lot of time if you think about it. I like just having 2 big meals and maybe some quick snacks in between. I will do this forever.
-
intermittent fasting is the norm for 95% of the worlds population, most people do it without even thinking.
Fuck of with this bullshit..
50% of people I know at work dont eat breakfast, they go from an evening meal to lunch the next day with only a cup of coffee in the morning./
-
I intermittent fast every night for 8 hours
zzzz....zzz.z...zzzz..zz zz..zzzzz...

They are all built like crap too. I noticed guys that don't eat breakfast are starving by lunch and over eat.

I noticed guys that don't eat breakfast are starving by lunch and over eat.
person A eats x calories at breakfast and y calories at lunch.
person B eats zero calories at breakfast and x + y calories at lunch.
what are the differences you believe that makes? simply "overeating?"
-
faggit 1 eats 500 calories at breakfast and 500 calories at lunch
faggit 2 eats 0 calories at breakfast and then 1500 calories at lunch
-
faggit 1 eats 500 calories at breakfast and 500 calories at lunch
faggit 2 eats 0 calories at breakfast and then 1500 calories at lunch
and how many calories do each of them eat at dinner?
-
and how many calories do each of them eat at dinner?
faggit 1 eats 500 calories at dinner. and ends the day with a total of 1500 calories.
faggit 2 skips dinner because he had to take a nap after eating 1500 calories at lunch. however he goes up in the middle of the night and eats another 500 ending with a total of 2000 calories.
-
person A eats x calories at breakfast and y calories at lunch.
person B eats zero calories at breakfast and x + y calories at lunch.
what are the differences you believe that makes? simply "overeating?"
Or person B can just eat X calories at lunch.

Been at this fasting thing for about a week and I'm liking it.
I'm doing intermittent fasting and not just time restricted eating. There is a bit of a difference.

Interesting info on "starvation mode" in this video.

I found intermittent fasting to be tremendously helpful for managing hunger long term. I fasted for 12-24 hour periods one day a week (before SS) and am still reaping the benefits of being able to much more easily manage hunger. Before fasting, skipping a meal felt very brutal. Now I sometimes forget to eat a meal and don't even notice I fasted for 15 hours by accident. Usually I follow these recommendations https://intermittentfastinginsight.com/

Careful. He seems like a nice, knowledgeable guy at first, but it doesn't take long to realize he's is an opportunist charlatan promoting useless products for financial gain.

IF works. Read Lyle's UD2.0. With a touch of PED's, it's amazing.
