It can work however as there are many people who do it but I have realized that the people who have success with CAD and IF is because of calorie restriction- not that it changes the way your body stores fat. Maybe in the beginning but I have seen many others over the last year and a half with various forms of CAD/CALP or IF and analyzing their eating habits it is because of cutting out calories. I am interested in high calorie weight loss and not slowing the metabolism but speeding it up!

Good luck! I will say that I wasn't hungry eating that way and there are many positives. Just keep track of your eating to see what works and what doesn't!

I don't agree that my weight loss this past year, and ending the plateau I was on is simply due to lower calories. A calorie is not a calorie! It very much matters what I'm eating each meal. I find calp principles to be the way to eat, and will happily do so the rest of my life.
I expect maintenance on calp to go fairly smoothly.

Best wishes with what you've chosen to move on to.
