I'm not bashing IF I'm just curious why you believe its BETTER than IIFYM or the godsend diet. If it works for you great but is it better? I personally do not think so.

The reason why some folks may be severely metabolically broken is because theyre in SEVERE caloric deficit. The biggest misconception to weight loss is people believe you need to be at 1000 calories a day to lose weight. This isn't true. Peoples calorie deficit are usually MORE than enough for the body, thats the issue.

The main goal to weight loss is to eat as much as food as you can that STILL allows you to lose body fat. Gradual weight loss, not crash dieting. Your example on Biggest Loser (Of all shows...) is exactly that. Crash dieting with INSANE amounts of exercise that the body cannot handle. They do this to their contestants because its a damn show ffs. A true proper weight loss in caloric deficit takes months and months and months. Years even. Biggest Loser isn't going to waste time filming these folks for years.

IIFYM isnt crash dieting unless you MAKE IT THAT. Its calculating your macro nutrients properly to either gain weight (Lean mass) or lose body fat. By calculating the ratios that suit your needs in theory you should steadily gain 1-2lbs a week. Or vice-versa. Or even slower/faster for people strictly wanting to lose weight.

I hope you realize you're basically using IIFYM. You're still MACRO counting with IFD...

I had a friend who did IFD and loss weight with success, don't get me wrong. Then realized that IIFYM worked so much better. He was able to eat WHEN he wanted and eat WHAT he wanted. Lost weight, and still IS losing weight + gaining strength in the gym.

Its all about calculating the right macros.
