I am catching up with the original thread right now. I am so excited by the idea of IF. I remember thinking that being addicted to food is much harder than other addictions because you can't just not eat. But... you *can* just not eat. I had bought into the "it slows your metabolism" line. I know that I have to be careful about not "making up for it" by gorging at other times. Overall though it seems like the perfect solution for me on paper. In reality, we shall see how bad hunger pangs get. Thank you to everyone who's already posted here with helpful tips!
