It's great way to lose weight if you can keep yourself from overeating when your feeding window opens. It's the same result as calorie restriction.

I like stuffing my face instead of eating smaller portions. So I decided to go down to 1 meal a day doing 20/4; I lost around 48 pounds in 3 months.



I also like "stuffing my face" and I can highly recommend sticking to low calorie density foods. For example, I buy bags of frozen vegetables and add them to whatever other main course I'm having. You barely consume any calories, they contain a lot of micronutrients and the volume is enough for you to feel full. There are other similar foods if mixed veggies are not your thing.


Isn't part of the point that if you are doing one meal a day you can eat until you are stuffed and still avoid excess calorie intake?


And that is what I did. Sorry if it was unclear. You can still overeat in one sitting. It all depends what you eat, it's just tougher with one meal.


I m in if. For me I can eat all I want, but here is the surprising part, I do not crave as much as I used to. I am allowed, but genuinely not willing. Another thing I noticed, from experience, if I eat white bread, or cake, I notice it the next day being more hungry
