IF has many different styles to the fasting. Many think it is the worst idea ever. I was one of those people. But I have been successful with the diet for a while now. Honestly, I love it and feel better.

Clicked the link expecting to read an article written by you, since it's your site. Instead I get a video of someone else's opinion on the topic. Yes, eating a caloric deficit works. Nothing magic happens by eating those calories in some arbitrary "eating window." It makes it easier to stay on a plan for some folks, others not so much.

I've been using IF for a few years and still believe it to be the best 'biohack' of all.
I use Leangains 8 hour feeding window style and weight train mid morning. I also throw in a 24 hour fast every fortnight or so. It helped me to go from 25% body fat to 10% in 6 month and enables me to walk around at 10-12% bodyfat all year round without having to count calories and never feel hungry or like I'm missing out somehow.
I recomend it to anyone who asks from the overweight sedentary housewife to the competition bodybuilder. In my less-than-humble opinion you are mad if you dont make it part of your health and longevity arsenal.I see them move from their offices to their cars and on to their suburban homes. They stress out constantly, they lose sleep, they eat badly. And they behave badly. Their egos run wild. - Henry Rollins

I've used it, but honestly didn't really have any goals except for not being as fat. Seemed to work following a 5:2 for a couple months, but it would be have been more productive for me had I had a real cut goal in mind. It's surprisingly difficult to start and then surprisingly easy to continue. I'm not sure that it's something that you can follow for life though, especially if you're trying to bulk at all.
I think it's always great if you can learn some things about your body, hunger being one of the most misunderstood. You *think* you're hungry around lunch time every day, but in reality you're just on a schedule. You can easily go 24-36 hours without any food and not feel any different really. I think it's a great thing to do occasionally.
Some people go 7, or 10, or even up to 30 days fasting. Longest I've made it was 3 days, after about 48 hours you go into ketosis and then you get to see some interesting things happen to your body. After about 4-5 days you reach the actual state of "Starvation Mode" that all these fad diets think they understand.
IMO, nothing wrong with it at all. Great to flush your body occasionally.Don't listen to me, I'm in terrible shape.
