I did IF - every other day for a little over a year. At the beginning I made worse food choices on the non-fasting day, but that went away pretty quickly (within a couple weeks) and then I found myself craving kale salad and sprouts and good stuff on my fasting day instead of rubbish. In general, for a year I found it pretty easy and thought it was ideal for me.

But the reason I stopped is that I started to feel like I was becoming obsessed with food. I literally felt that food had taken over my brain and I was constantly thinking about what I couldn't eat (on fasting days) or what I could eat next (non-fasting days) and at what time. I started arranging things in my day around food and eating. It got bad enough that I realised if I carried on I would have an eating disorder. LOL So I just eat whole foods now (no grains and small bits of dairy, mostly raw) and no more food obsession. It is such a shame because before the obsession I felt and looked great, but I could not do it long term.
