IF just seems so obvious for general health/ weight loss / weight maintenance...I can't believe this kind of process never occurred to me before. I guess we humans are always looking for complicated ways to do things. Like somehow the more complicated the process, the more effective it must be. Ha! Thanks for the reality check and putting the K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) motto back into my life I really appreciate all the wonderful information about IF on this site (and your free ebook). Thanks again, Melissa I am new to IF, although not to fasting in general.

Focus more on getting all your necessary macronutrients/calories in your meals and drop the "snacking" mentality. Great work on what you have done so far. The most important part of the battle for weight loss....is keeping it off! Finding a simple and realistic lifestyle approach for eating and exercise is the key to lasting success. If you want, you can still enjoy sweets on occasion...but you will notice as you eat more real foods, your cravings will change. A night out may be a nice steak and glass of wine....rather than an ice cream sundae and nap on the couch afterwards from the sugar crash!

I haven't really gotten my eating dialed in yet, I still have the urge to eat every 2-3 hours and am still thinking about meals, snacks and food constantly but I want to break this obsessive complolsiveness that I have picked up while trying to eat healthy and lose weight. All the main stream nutrition information totally brainwashed me and it wasn't until I started reading sites like this that I got back to fundamentals and started following the K.I.S.S credo (keep it simple stupid). Quick background: Last June I weighed in at 342 lbs at 6' 4" and thanks to my wife decided I wanted a change. 10 month later I am at 212 lbs and running 25+ miles a week while competing in monthly 10K races. I now ride bikes, rock climb and any other outdoor activities that come my way. I have abandoned fast foods, soda and video games completely and am working on giving up other sweets like chocalate and ice cream. My hope is to eliminate the crap and enjoy preparing and eating good foods again.

Keep it up! Yes, people in the mainstream take things to extreme if the word "fasting" appears. But hopefully we can all start to spread some common sense out there to people, in a weight loss/diet industry that seems to lack much of that. Great job on the results!! Keep it up!

I have been eating whole foods with low GL carbs starting December 1, 2009 while also IF'ing 2 times a week. Coupled with lifting heavy things and getting in some low to moderate cardio a few times a week, I have dropped 25 pounds and feel better than ever. Everything you list here is completely true, at least in my world. Those that know I fast either 'freak out' and tell me that it's bad for me (meanwhile they're overweight and think nothing of eating microwave food from a box or a bunch of easily disgested white carbs), or they tell me how they 'cleansed' once and fasted for 2 weeks straight. There is never anything reasonable and in the middle like IF'ing for health and longevity. People just don't think this way. It's too bad because they could all feel soooo much better. Anyway, just a quick story from my world. Great site. Thank you for the wealth of info. Cheers. Good stuff!
