Given that nobody makes money off people fasting -- except Dr. Fung who is selling subscriptions to a group of people for fasting -- I'm kind of astounded to see it in mainstream media at all, let alone some high profile stuff.

It's a good thing, I think.

Eating once a day and occasionally skipping a day is my norm. When I do IF, the only thing that changes is that I generally eat MORE -- and more consistently -- because I'm paying attention to doing it on purpose, rather than going, "Oh yeah, hmmn, it's 8pm, I should probably eat something."

Generally neither approach results in me getting enough food though, especially fats, unless I either prep bulk food in advance, or have a few choice foods high in cheese+mayo or bacon+avocado. I can eat a lot at once if I must, it's just having it all ready so it's not a hassle (e.g.: laziness) that interferes.

I generally lose more weight when I am eating a little more often, even if it's the same amount of food, not intaking much dairy, and particularly if I am drinking more water. I don't know why this is.
