Not sure the second study is an endorsement of IF -- did you see the comment re decrease in resting energy expenditure and possible weight gain?
I see your point. I suppose I took from that the lesson that you need to adjust calories too. Brad Pilon makes a big thing of the idea that a major benefit of IF is simply from eating less.
im sorry but i cant agree with you about that the metabolism its slow down, i lose fat at exactly eating the same calories as i did when i had the 6meal per day.
If you had to reduce your calories when do I.F, its because people ate less than their maintenance so their metabolism slowed down.
Thats the only reason, if you dont believe, you could ask Martin Berkham.
I didn't say that the metabolism slow down. Did you read the post up last week that said there was no "starvation mode"
Speaking of Berkhan, look at his latest pics
