Intermittent Fasting

You sure about that? https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/fat-cell-number-is-set-in-childhood-and-stays-constant-in-adulthood

Yes I am sure about that, even though you diet from 300lbs to 150lbs you still have the same number of fat cells.

Let me ponder...Intermittent Fasting is described as...skipping meals???...Eating Brunch instead of breakfast and lunch separately?

The point is some people have more fat cells to grow and shrink from birth than others you can also increase them during childhood and they are set in adulthood. So if you were lean and athletic as a child you have a huge lifelong advantage over someone who was not. I wrestling and dieted for wrestling during puberty. I also started swim team at 3 and my single mother was too busy working to cook. I have less fat cells to grow than most people.

WRONG....YOU CANNOT INCREASE FAT CELLS.

They shrink or grow dependant on your weight,.

If I`m wrong,prove me wrong.

You hold off eating longer than normal- so yes, you could think of it as combining meals.


What is does for me is to break the cycle of eating based on habit and eating instead because of hunger. The concept of three separate meals a day really is an invention of the industrial revolution. If you go back in history, people generally ate only once or twice a day (post hunter gatherer stage).


It still just gets down to eating less calories, but I find my hunger pangs have nearly disappeared between meals, so its easier to eat less.

From my research on fat cells...

You are born with some.
They expand and contract if you get fatter or lose weight.
If you get really fat they can multiply so don't get fat.
They can reduce in numbers but it takes a very long time and you must maintain a low cal diet so it's very difficult and practically impossible.

[IroNat]

Intermittent fasting when combined with a low carb/high fat diet is very effective for fat loss and can be maintained.

In simple terms stop eating sugar, high carb foods and refined processed foods.

This way of eating maintains healthy blood sugar and insulin levels.

It is the hunter/gatherer diet.

Eat the following...

Meat, eggs, fish
Non-starch vegetables
Beans, lentils
Nuts, seeds
Cheese, cream
Butter, healthy oils

An occasional cheat is ok but only occasional.

It is surprising how quickly you get used to the diet and no longer have hunger pangs.

Me too, it doesn't take very long.

I don't go too low with carbs though.

I eat plenty of good carbs with my first meal and none with my second meal at 5pm.

Coffee helps too.

Hunter and gatherers consumed "cheese & cream"? Nope, I don't think so...

You are correct.

However, cheese and cream, butter are animal products, high in fat and practically zero carbs.

Healthy oils are also high in fat and low to zero carbs.

Eating in this way is very satiating and lowers the hunger impulse.

The hunter/gatherer diet is meat, animal products, nuts, seeds, berries, etc.

Corn, wheat, the staples of the western diet affect insulin and blood sugar levels greatly and increase the hunger impulse. 

The typical diet of high carb, multiple meals every day (bodybuilder 6-8 meals a day) has your pancreas in overdrive to maintain a normal blood sugar level.  Leads to Type 2 diabetes.

You can lose weight and maintain it by eating high carbs and a low calorie diet but you will be miserable and hungry all the time.  The failure rate on these types of diets is very high, over 90%.  Like maintaining a bodybuilder pre-contest diet.
