As a person whose been long term overweight and finally lost it during the pandemic (I stopped eating out) I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment of this article. There is something very competitive and aggressive about IF & it's currently one of the stars of the purity/wellness/bro-hacking diet culture. It's okay to miss a meal & fasting now and then is probably great for us, but depriving yourself regularly is a set up for a fraught relationship with food....for most people. IF is risky, trendy, and not sustainable.
