Are there any recent studies that show the pro and cons of intermittent fasting?
Is intermittent fasting good for your body?
If there are Benifits, what is the threshold for these benefits? Do I need to fast for a few hours a day or a few days?

Does anyone on /fit/ fast?
It is great for fat loss, but bad for immune strength. I would be using IF, but I'm currently fighting off a gnarly bedbug rn.
It's marginally good for your hormones. It's not good because it can produce gallstones.
Beyond that there's not a lot of research.
IF is only good cause i helps people to not over eat
you can skip breakfast and lunch and have 1 big meal and a smaller meal
>tfw eating 800 calorie meal in the evening and a 1000 calorie meal for dinner

It's helped me break through my plateau really quickly. The first week sucks but if you fill up on water, it's not so bad. Once you get used to your fast, you should start excersising during that period.
>Pros
It works
>Cons

i have done it for a couple of weeks, it helped on fat loss and restriction of calories, but i get sick of flu ( i haven't been sick in too much time) i think that the fasting fucked up my body defences but i'm not sure.
I've been doing a version of intermittent fasting for quite a while now(about 9ish months) and it's been fine for both cutting and bulking.
I have a pre workout meal sometime around 3 pm, and then I eat the majority of my food between 11pm-2am, going to sleep around 3am.
bulking or cutting just requires changing the caloric density of the food.
I do something like 14/10, eating before I work out at around 2. It makes cutting on a 1,000 calorie deficit extremely easy.
Thanks for the informative responces! I really appreciate it. Im thinking of doing something similar to
