Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Also intermittent fasting is not a diet and does not create a calorie deficit.
It promotes a calorie deficit because it would be difficult to stuff your face with an entire day's worth of calories in a matter of 1-2 meals. Unless you derp by eating certain fast food and processed sweets/desserts, then yeah, easily achievable to surpass your maintenance calories.
So you eat double before/after? How does it not create a deficit?
The way intermittent fasting is supposed to be used is that you just straight up skip your meal or meals, and then you pick up on the meal that you start eating again as if you had had those other meals.
Don't use intermittent fasting as an excuse to eat a 2400 calorie dinner and you will lose weight because it created a calorie deficit.
It's just "eat less" with extra steps, and that's not what people hope it is.
The point of intermittent fasting is that during the fast your metabolism increases and your body enters partial ketosis which is beneficial for healing and general well being.
