      I tried it. There is no way I could eat 500 calories 2 days a week long term. If others can, awesome.https://twitter.com/CaulfieldTim/status/1229505647051296768 …

      "The Benefits of Intermittent Fasting" https://nyti.ms/37vaNsV  cc @GidMK @YoniFreedhoff Skeptical re all trends(!), keeping an open mind. Interesting research emerging. But sustainable? Long term benefits/risks? Re weight loss, some data suggest no better than other approaches.

      I've lost more than 20 pounds and huge strides controlling my blood sugar with portion control. IF might be better for some people, but it isn't for me.

      Portion control, calorie counting, and exercise have allowed me to drop over 40 lbs. in a year and a half. Now that I’ve finally hit my target weight, things are getting...interesting...as I try to figure out how much I can eat without starting to gain the weight back.

      I need to lose about 40lbs myself. I start running last September, dropped beer, and thought the weight would melt off. Now I am up to 4 miles nonstop running (usually 10 miles a week cumulatively), and feel great for it, but haven't lost a single pound! Calorie counting time.

      One thing I learned when I started riding a bicycle for exercise is that exercise doesn't burn nearly as many calories as people think it does. I went your route, riding 15-20 miles three times a week, sometimes more, and I lost no significant weight for over a year.

          It was only when I started counting calories that I began to lose weight, but it was slow. It was then only after I bought an app and became fanatical about counting calories that I lost 3-4 lbs a month consistently over a year, with an interruption around the time of my surgery.

          I got an app to estimate how many calories I was burning by bike riding, I was shocked to discover that riding 15 miles only burned maybe 1000-1200 calories. So now I ride for cardio, but don't expect riding to help me much keeping the weight off. Only calorie restriction will.

          You really need to find an activity you enjoy. A few minutes a day doesn't cut it. I was going to the gym twice a week and weighed well over 200lbs. But then I fell in love with a particular sport, and 2-3 hours a week turned into 10-20 hours of training/workouts: dropped 30lbs.
