I’ve been IFing ever since Dr Eades first blogged about it.
I’m a random IFer (RIFer) – a couple of days a week plus stretches that last from a week to two weeks about every five weeks or so. My daily eating schedule when IFing is anywhere from 15/9 up to 20/4 (I have gone longer a few times).
IF has made me lean as opposed to just having a lower body weight via low-carbing alone.
It’s convenient not having to worry about eating when you don’t have access to good LC food. Knowing that your world’s not going to end and that you won’t fall over if you skip a meal or two is very empowering.
I enjoy the anticipation of looking forward to my meals.
It’s nice to be able to indulge (not binge) during the eating window. I think it fills a basic human need that is a constant struggle to avoid when eating 3 meals a day with snacks in between.
It makes me feel energetic and clear headed.
Based on everything I’ve read on the subject, I believe it is the most healthy way to eat and will confer the greatest health benefits long term.
