I'm sorry but this just isn't true.

Going low calorie is one of the best ways to knock out hormonal balance which is key for any health benefits.

Even the arguments for IF are flawed in this manner as with IF you still eat the same amount of calories per day. All that is happening is the calories have a different delivery method.

Low calorie is the easiest way to cause metabolic damage.

It is very rare that anyone has any health or weight issues with the over consumption of high quality nutrient dense foods.

So i say provide the study that proves low calorie is good for ANY health benefit.

In regards to exercise and IF. If the goal is to build muscle this is not an optimal way to go about it, and the same for optimal fat loss.

With the above. There is too much speculation in that study to draw any concrete facts out of it,

I maintain my stance that further long term study is needed.

I have tried IF and i did not like it one bit.

I can only speak for myself but the last time i got my bloods tested everything was where it needed to be including the ever popular IGF-1 Hormone.

Flexible eating for the win.

Could excessive consumption of saturated fat (grass fed butter, Animal fat, coconut oil) cause excessive sebum production? I have been getting a lot of skin colored bumps on my skin, and I am wondering iritis because I have been consuming a ton of saturated fat this past 6 to 8 months. Or idiot just a coincidence? Bro has these as well, but not to the extent that I do

Here is some data:

That is a highly variable question? How much is a ton? What else have you been eating?

A lot more study has been done on sat fats in recent times and the data is showing it helps regulates hormones. Also i study that i cannot remember the name of, done over 20 years on 30,000 people i believe. One group had no sat fats in their diet, the other group did.

They had to stop the study because the group with no sat fats started showing signs of heart disease where the group with sat fats were perfectly healthy in that capacity.

May be look at what else you are eating, processed, wheats and grains????

I still not be sold on IF.

As i said before, interesting data but more study is needed.

My concern is, what the long term hormonal effects? Little or no data on that.

Right now i will stick with what i know to work

Wow some great stories here.

This year i will be doing a cruise around the med and the Caribbean. So will hit many countries in 2 weeks. Can't wait.

I have been to France a few times. I have family over there.

I have been to Spain man years ago, great food

Been to Amsterdam, beautiful city albeit expensive.

I've been to Scotland when i was very young. Don't remember it that well.

Experiences. Too many to name but nothing like a few brushes with death to make one feel alive.

I think my greatest experiences comes from the people around me and close to me. I have learned a lot from these people and dare say taught them a few things. I am simply a combination of the people around me.
