Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 532959" data-source="post: 2410594">Thanks! This does offer a bit more clarity.Intermittent-fasting can definitely be a useful tool in the toolbox, but again it's no magic-bullet. Plenty of people use IF while in maintenance, on an ongoing basis, which serves to demonstrate that IF without energy manipulation (intentional or otherwise) does not guarantee weight-loss.In this quote: "when it comes to fasting, more isn't always better. You need just enough restriction to ensure you're moving towards your goal at a sustainable rate.", if we substitute the word "fasting" for "dieting", the sentence still makes sense. Appealing to people to lose weight at a slower, more consistent pace makes a whole lot of sense.I'm not knocking IF, as I understand (I have a lot of my own experience with it). There are definitely ways in which it can help people with weight-loss. But people can easily lose out if they push it too far, and try to emulate what others' are doing. OMAD, for example, might be fine for the guy/girl who is already super-disciplined and more on top of their 'game'. However, someone who is obese, who uses food for far more than energy and nutrition could end up with issues. In that sense, the book would appear to have a great message.The part of your post which I took issue with, and which informed the majority of my initial post, was this line:"...basically if you feel hungry test yourself and if BG is above what you want for your normal range, don't eat."Is that in the book, or is that just your interpretation?</blockquote>
