Fasting is not for everyone. It may be because of their schedule, job, lifestyle, etc. Or maybe they just don't like fasting.

Got it.
Not at all. Challenges are welcome; and there are pro and cons to any system. Pointing them out is a good thing. However, naysaying (negative just for the sake of being negative) is something totally different.
The point of the thread is two fold:
1) To educate on the positives aspect of fasting -- specifically IF -- as it applies to diet and overall physical health.
2) To encourage and support those that use the system or that maybe considering using it to improve their health and well-being.
There is a wealth of research presently available, so I'm hoping I can share some of what I've learned and experience and in the process learn something new and
stay current of what being developed and discovered as research continues.
