Does intermittent fasting work?

Yes. To learn more watch the hodgetwins

I lost 20lbs in two months doing a 4hour feeding window. It's so simple and your body gets used to the fast pretty quickly. I strongly recommend it.

Works well if you run a deficit.

Works even better with keto.

Does a polar bear shite on ice

I've been on it since Summer. Working out while fasted can be rough, but you get used to it. My eating window is from 12-8. Sometimes I switch up my eating window to 1-9.. and sometimes I workout during my eating window.

Yes it can work but you meal after fasting has to be something that not going to overload your gi tract

Yes it works. It restricts the hours you eat to a window daily whichever schedule works for you. What this does is allow one to eat larger meals and more satisfiying meals as long as macro and calorie needs are met.

yes, and i can pretty much eat whatever while staying in a calorie deficit

cakes
burgers
sushi
etc etc

Yeah, it works. I've lost 20 pounds in less than 3 months. There are different fasting regiments. I'm fasting 3 days a week (Tues., Thurs. and Sat.). Eat normal meals the other 4 days. No need to exclude carbs. Very little exercise. I'm retired, so I don't have work to deal with.

My wife is just fasting 16 hours, from 6 PM to noon. She eats a normal lunch and supper. She's lost 10 pounds.

Fasting for 8-10 hours or so exhausts the glycogen in your system and then you burn fat for the remaining 16 hours of the fast.

After I lose another 20 pounds my eating schedule will probably morph into the 16 hour fast for 3 to 5 days a week. It's easier than counting calories and there may be other benefits.
