Internet spread a lot of snake oils for losing weight. As far as I know this is one of them.

It’s a tool not a solution. CICO is all the matters. I will say it’s very difficult to eat more than your daily allotment of calories in a a single meal or in a 4 hours time period. The problem is the zealots (like with most lifestyle trends) who treat it like the 2nd coming of Jesus.

Is it like the amps make mo difference snake oil? Because two years ago I did intermittent fasting to lose weight, I went from 134kg (295 Lbs) to 89kg (196 Lbs) in 9 months.

If this is snake oil, then please give me more of it. It might not work for everybody but it sure as hell worked for me.

Likely you lost weight because your calories intake was smaller than your calories consumption.

I tried the 6 hour by 18 hour, eating whatever I want, and got heavier.

If fasting help you eat less, great. But what matters more is the calories balance.

Of course fasting is about minimizing calories intake. Do you think fasting is like some sort of magic? Or do you think I think it is some sort of magic? The entire point of fasting g is to be in a negative caloric balance compared to your daily maintenance.

Yeah, you can be in a minimal caloric deficit for a long time to induce weight loss over a long period of time, but if you want it to get it over and done and lose weight faster, you start fasting. That 6:18 thing is bullshit, it all boils down to induction of caloric deficit vis a vis your weight maintenance requirement, that's it.

God this comment of yours pisses me off so much. You think I am a fucking moron? And don't go around flinging "Snake oil" around when you don't even know what the fuck you are talking about, and who you are talking to it about. Go get a Chu and an Apple dongle.

If facts are pissing you off, problem is on you.

Calories in, calories out is all that matters. Fasting is just unnecessary.

Want lose weight fast, large calorie deficit. That is all and it is scientifically tested btw.

Dude, you are the guy who did 48 HOURS of fasting to lose weight.

Do you have any idea how ridiculous this is?

Go ahead and read the posts about burn in and cables improving the sound of a headphone.

This is the level you are.

Get out of social media diets, go to a respectable doctor for help or go study good material about diets.

Fasting helps you to lose weight.

Expensive cables make your music sound better.

Burn in is real.

Go on, live the life the way you want. Easy way with reason beside you, difficult way with misinformation spread on the internet.

Life is yours in the end.

You are correct.

The distinction here most aren’t making is the difference between weight and fat. If you wanna lose weight—yeah starve yourself, keto or not. You wanna lose fat and actually be healthy—do what you said.

Intermittent fasting, like both of you have said, doesn’t help directly but can limit how much you can eat. That being said—a two day fast is bullshit for any long-term goal.

The issue isn’t any program for you…but rather your own self control. If you work on that then you will achieve your goals.

Why do you fast for temporary results rather than having a consistent diet and exercise then?
