The benefit of intermittent fasting is the break from eating is when your body utilizes the food consumed to undergo cellular repair and healing, which it can't do very well if it's busy processing and digesting food. Pick any 16 hr window that works for you. I stop eating at 8 pm and resume at noon the following day. You can cheat a little (keto fat bombs for example), but no protein or carbs so your pancreas can sleep through it. I use a body comp scale and came to the conclusion you can't really burn fat unless you lay off alcohol. Same as sugar. Fructose (hidden in processed foods) and alcohol disable your leptin response; leptin is what your body produces to tell you to take the fork out of your mouth you've eaten enough.
I know a woman in her early 60’s, she’s been doing this way of eating for longer than I’ve known her which is 25 years. Her skin looks awful, wrinkled and droopy. She’s slim, but has NO stamina or endurance when we’re hiking. She’s also become scatterbrained and forgetful.
While this diet can be useful to get the fat off, I wouldn’t call it the fountain of youth for some women.
There’s healthy keto and then dirty keto. Does she also eat a lot of greens and veggies? Maybe she’s deficient in vitamins or maybe the diet isn’t for her ?
Eat anything you want in a six hour window and nothing outside that window and you will lose weight and feel better.
You’re both right. Keto + intermittent fasting is the fountain of youth.

I’ve always wondered why people on keto have funny looking skin. It looks so paper thin and wrinkly. Any idea why that is?

Fountain of youth != fountain of beauty. If that old ugly broad manages to out live you by 20 years then she might be on to something.
Yep.
