10 Ways Intermittent Fasting Is Better Than Any Diet (Thread):

IF is a system.

Systems work long-term.

The long-term is where your focus needs to be, because this fitness journey never ends.

And this is exactly where diets fall apart - they don't last.

Here's reason 1:

1) It Legitimately Lowers Your Appetite

Most diets leave you hungry every night, and there's only so much willpower in your 'tank'.

Eventually, it drains to zero.

And then you fail.

IF prevents this tank from ever being empty, due to the effortless fat loss.

Next:

2) There Are NO Limits On Your Food Choices

This is where you have ultimate freedom.

Your diet doesn't 'fail' if you eat a sweet potato.

Your diet doesn't 'fail' if you have a glass of red wine with your steak.

Stick to the window & your calories, that's it.

3) It Lowers Your Average Insulin Levels

Which certainly makes long-term leanness more likely.

When you cut down your eating window, you cut down the insulin spiking.

Next:

4) It Murders Any Inflammation

This is a really important component of long-term health, and something that isn't addressed by most diets.

Eating around the clock makes Autophagy much more difficult to achieve/maintain.

Next:

5) You Have Complete Social Freedom

Socialising usually happens at night, not at breakfast.

And you're not going to sit there, eating nothing, drinking nothing, being miserable because you've run out of calories...

While everyone else enjoys themselves.

Not sustainable.

Intermittent Fasting allows you to rack up a large buffer stock of calories for the evening, meaning:

- You can eat more
- You have more flexibility
- You have the appearance of a 'normal' (non-dieting) person

Next:

6) You Have Higher Energy

Especially in the mornings.

This complements all your other life areas, whereas most diets leave you feeling hungry and drained.

IF works WITH you.

Most diets work AGAINST you.

Next:

7) You Have Greater Focus

Again, this complements other areas.

I've used this to:

- Grow this business
- Have killer morning workouts
- Get shit done

Most diets leave you 'brain foggy'.

IF makes you mentally sharper.

Next:

8) It Works When You're On Vacation

No diet is maintainable on vacation.

But IF of course, is a system, and it's VERY do-able regardless of where you are in the world, ESPECIALLY if you do OMAD.

I've used it to LOSE several pounds while abroad.

No problem.

Next:

9) It Works Over Christmas, New Years & Any Holidays

Again, especially if you do OMAD.

Try getting 2000+ calories in one meal.

It's not easy.

Finally:

10) It Destroys Your Sweet Tooth

Most of you still get cravings (sugar addiction).

But if you:

A) Fast for at least 16 hours per day, and;
B) Drink black coffee

It's a matter of time until you simply no longer even WANT sweet crap.

If you're sick of:

- Unsustainable diets
- Being hungry all the time
- Yo-yo dieting
