[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1409535, member: 41816"] If you have a look at Jason Fung he is definitely not underweight, and he fasts regularly. And fasting has been a way of life, all over the planet, for centuries (often religious fasts). So it is definitely possible to do IF without continued and excessive weight loss. Just a matter of adjusting eating patterns to have fewer, larger meals. Or fewer more calorie-dense meals. Regarding getting too skinny... BMI is a very rough guide, intended for general populations, not individual interpretation (although it is often used on individuals). So much depends on individual muscle bulk and bone structure, that a BMI of 20 can mean very different things on different people. Plus (unfortunately) our livers and pancreases don't look in the mirror to decide how good they look, before they decide whether to work or not... which is VERY annoying. Have you seen the info about the Fasting Mimicking Diet by Valter Longo? [URL]http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/prolon-fasting-mimicking-diet-weight-loss-natural-plant-based-a7518081.html[/URL] You don't have to buy the expensive packets of food, and you don't have to follow that programme, but the thinking behind the fasting and re-feeding patterns is something you may find interesting. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
