I'm playing with the benefits of IF and autophagy for the excess skin I have on my belly after losing about 100 lbs over the past 18 months.

This Dr uses IF with his obese patients who are undergoing weight loss with keto. He has claimed that even with patients who have lost over 100 lbs did not need to be referred for excess skin removal.

Autophagy definitely seems to have benefits and appears to also be linked to longevity, lifespan and prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Definitely odd that the "healthy" low fat diet may be completely wrong.

IF's always been my preferred method of weight loss... I've never had the excess skin problem either. I've never been super overweight, but I had a temporary Thyroid setback a couple of years back and needed to lose some, no problems with the IF method.
