    To clarify, the diet has restrictions as to what you can eat and while the methodology states that you can just estimate foods, I think most people who followed the approach weighed the food fairly accurately, at least the protein part of the meal. The flexibility lies in how many meals you eat per day. For example, if you wake up hungry, eat. If not, wait 3-5 hours and then eat. Some days you eat 7 meals. Another day you eat 3 meals. But the macros remain fairly consistent and accurate from each meal.

    I attached a before and after picture of the guy I was talking about. Actually, that`s not his best last picture and a picture from prior to starting this intuitive approach is lacking. I think he was on IF for the first 7-8 months and then H&F for the last three months or so.

    Certainly the after pic is a healthier person...for me personally....he is too thin!

    Lets just say i have a 50 lb rule. 50 is the respectable number of the minimium difference between me and a guy that I might find attractive.
    I know it sounds vain and superficial, but i don't EVER want a man to ask me if he can borrow my jeans. EVER.

    very interesting thread!

    Not quite on topic, but I`ll keep that in mind if I decide to make a move.
