I sortof feel intermittent fasting, is just another gimmick, but before you write it off as such, I think it has it's uses. I believe it's a way to trick you into taking in much less calories, because most people I see eating this way don't eat much, since they only eat 6 hours out of the day.

So I guess it's a way to manipulate your diet to eat less, which would make you lose more.

Don't take this as fact just my thoughts, please tell me or prove me wrong.

intermittent fasting only helps me with water and appetite control. i follow this guy on youtube. he really knows his shit,this is his opinion.

It really varies person to person. Fasting does nothing for me, carbs are my enemy. You just have to find what works for you.

I think that losing fat is a very subjective process, obviously caloric deficit comes first. Luckily there are many schools of thought on the best diet/training/cardio methods to achieve what you want. Id initially eat an identical diet with smaller portions until that stalls for you. Then start paleo/IF/carb cycling etc.

What are you doing now diet wise? I would try a lot of different things before I did that. Carb cycling Keto more cardio etc.
