6 lbs a month. 1.5 pounds a week. That's a sustainable and realistic rate of weight loss. Should have no trouble keeping it off.

If weight loss is obtained through calorie restriction the metabolistic slowdown usually results in eventual weight gain, or eternal hunger.

Intermittent Fasting aims to maintain metabolism, whether you fast daily or do alternate days, it's good for almost all body types.

9 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 3

Though if you drink a lot of fizzy drink and eat a lot of carbs, no matter your size you should cut that out. It's bad for your insulin.

Calorie restriction is the only way to achieve weight loss. Metabolic slowdown eventually returns to the expected for a given weight/height

It's true that weight loss results in lower than expected metabolism for years sometimes. It's a consequence of ever becoming overweight :(

It's a consequence of starvation, if you're average + restrict your metabolism will increase. It's how yo-yo diets start.

That article states intermittent fasting is successful in weight loss largely because it forces calorie restriction

I'm considering it different to calorie restriction as you can induce fat loss while eating same cals on a 6:18 diet.

It forces a non-traditional calorie restriction, yes, but that's not why the weight loss is better in many ways.
