An ignorant question

So this question came out of a place of ignorance. Since it’s about calorie deficit (this thinking is based on the responses in this subreddit), why do we even bother with IF? Can we eat three times a day and just make sure to eat under a certain number of calories? What does fasting do to the body that calorie deficit doesn’t do? Thanks for your answer. I’m just trying to learn about the advantages of IF. via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/M2hnAuU https://ift.tt/VNqnjya
