intermittent fasting effect

[cephissus]

I was doing IF for a while and lost some quality fat poundage.  Got the fucking flu, didn't eat much for a while then felt better and  ravenous eating everything in site.  All that eating for a week and I'm sleepy all the time, needing naps, feeling bloated.  While doing IF I had energy through the roof.  Now I fall asleep if I sit down for a minute.  Need to get my ass back into again.

Might not be a good idea.  Check out the article I posted on the last page.

-Must have been a very nasty virus.

As a fat kid all my life i really benefit from IF.

I can eat 3 huge meals with a bit of discipline during the day.

Last meal at 1am
Next meal at 5pm
Next at 10pm

Losing bf VERY slow but VERy steady.  15 lbs since August

That's not IF, it's just 3 square meals a day.

Yep. Sucked. Worst headache ever for a few days. I was in a zone lifting and dieting and then had this fucking setback.

I feel lucky because I don't get this type of virus. On the other hand, if I catch a cold, it invariably turns into bronchitis and requires antibiotics to cure it. Either way, being sick messes with one's routine.

After many decades of wiping my ass with regular toilet paper I switched to baby wipes. It's never been the same since.

No, first take a swipe with the TP for the preliminary cleaning. Then the baby wipes. Been doing this for decades. I can't believe that people just use TP. I so want to say something because I genuinely believe that they probably just never thought about and just do what they've been taught and bought up with. The few times I felt comfortable to bring it  up I always get a new convert.

I'm also always armed with a mini pack of baby wipes at all times when I'm out and about. Not just for the bathroom but it comes in handy for a variety of situations. If you eat in your car a lot it's a must to keep your hands clean.

these articles don't quantify anything.  intermittent fasting improves insulin sensitivity?  how much?  is this effect significant?

fasting can help with binge eating disorders?  sorry, but this sounds like a bad joke to me.  the link doesn't go to a study.  wonder if the author has ANY personal experience with the matter, or is just writing from his imagination.  the 'reasoning' given is absurd:

"Also, for anyone who wants to prevent binge eating, you can establish a set time in where you allow yourself to eat your daily amount of calories in one sitting, and then not eat till the following day."

I could just as easily write:

"With intermittent fasting, binge eaters find encouragement for their proclivities.  Being told that eating all of your calories at once is not only acceptable but beneficial only reinforces the pattern they're hoping to break.  The disorder deepens as they continue to 'purge' through fasting."

Who's right?

These articles exist to fill someone's pockets, at the expense of filling others' minds with garbage.

A scientific study is sourced in each benefit it lists.

Go to the scientific study in question. It gives details.

Are you aware that baby wipes are not flushable? The will fuck up your plumbing. Try moist wipes. They are flushable and just as effective. They also come in travel packs for when you just can't wait to get home to shit.They're available by the case at Costco.
