Intermittent fasting does not have to mean you don't eat for days, you get many benefits after 12 hrs. I lost 50+ lbs in 3 months doing "keto" (just drop your carb intake under 50 per day and eat more fat) and not eating anything for 12-14 a day (bedtime until lunch). Not that hard to do because if you eat enough fat you are not hungry like when you are shoving down nothing but carbs. And yes, you can drink coffee/tea during that 12-14 hrs. and still loose weight. Intermittent fasting has other benefits like rebuilding your telomeres which slows aging. I know other people who have done keto/int fasting and now don't have to take insulin for the diabeetus. Hell, even my 70+ yr old dad lost a bunch or weight and staved off the beetus. Ansel Keys was a niggerfaggot that made up the more grain/less meat and fat bullshit. He doomed generations to being sick, it was probably on purpose to keep us all buying expensive meds.
