If you dont eat food, you will lose weight.
Yes, there’s no magic pill.......

“The Hopkins study shows that a fasting diet is “effective for weight loss, simply because it helps people eat less,” they said.”
I have found not snacking or eating anything after 5 pm or so until breakfast at about 6:30 am has helped me lose weight!
They make you nauseous, and sometimes throw up, and basically negates your desire to eat, so you eat less.
I always thought this was comparable to bulimia or anorexia.
When I feel the need to lose weight, keto and fasting works for me. Just keep the calorie count as low as you can and it's amazing how fast your body will consume its own fat to keep the books balanced.
I can sell you the Reader’s Digest version for the low, low price of $14.99. Just one page.

48 hrs after I started Ozempic injections I remembered that I needed sustenance to maintain life at its current level. Then my stomach shrank to 1/4 its size. No one realizes “smaller portions” is a colloquialism for “if you eat more than a tablespoon, YOU WILL VOMIT harder than you can ever remember in your life”.
Instead of having 8 doughnuts for breakfast, cut it down to 6.
Right-wing fundamentalist tripe!
My book has rainbow colored/non-binary pages, made from used toilet paper.
It's unabridged and unbleached to help the environment.
(audio version with smell vision available also)
In what sense is “limiting” eating to 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. a plausible “fast”? That is a TEN HOUR WINNDOW!
Further, most doing TRE also go Keto/Low Carb to stop the cravings. This DOES reduce calories over time. Using TRE & Keto, my total calorie intake has probably been cut 50% over a 6 year period - without hunger or cravings or WANTING to eat more.
But my test is this: I spent 45 years following the low fat diets, and I’d lose weight and then gain it back again. Yo-Yo diets for 45 years.
Now 6+ years of steady weight loss. Still have a little belly fat left to go. It took me 50 years to put it there so I don’t mind it needing more than 6 months to totally remove it. But I’m in my 60s and CAN run 4-5 miles a day, while also lifting weights and riding horses.
Couldn’t do that before IF and Low Carb.

Many things happen during intermittent fasting that can protect organs against chronic diseases, heart disease, age-related neurodegenerative disorders, even inflammatory bowel disease and many cancers. It is not really about weight loss but even if that is the goal you need at least a 16-20 hour window.
LOL! There seems to be a lot of sassiness going around today.
sure if you only care about weight loss, not concerned whether bone, muscle, water, as long as scale goes down.
I could eat 1000 calories a day of candy and lose weight but I surely wouldn’t be healthy over time on a diet of candy.
Factor in a persons age, and sometimes precarious balance of nutrients/minerals etc in their body, and a lower calorie crappy food diet could be really detrimental.
I have increased calories and lost at times too, so in my experience its not just a calorie counting thing, but types of foods those calories are.
EENNNHHHHHHHH!!!! Wrong answer.
Exercise is the key to weight loss because it not only burns calories, it also builds muscle mass and raises the metabolic rate, both of which cause you to burn more calories even when at rest. The riders in the Tour de France consume +/- 8000 calories a day. Most if not all lose weight over the 21(+/-) day event.
Fasting causes the metabolic rate to slow. And breaking the fast causes insulin levels to spike, which increases fat storage. This is why competitive bodybuilders looking to strip all body fat interrupt their night's rest to have a meal in the middle of the night. Because small, frequent meals keep the insulin levels consistently lower, which minimizes fat storage.
Lost 20lbs over six months by not snacking, not having sweets, and getting zero calories from liquids.
Excellent results
