The human body was made to survive off of limited calories. My walking weight before I started was between 250 to 260, it's now 220 to 230's. I'm never hungry, nor do I get hunger pains eating the way I do.
Here's a great site that explains the nuances of IF.

huge difference between 2200 calories a day and 1100 ;) I was referring to the 1100.
I agree that the body was made to be able to survive those circumstances but we aren't talking about survival, we are talking about being healthy here. Just because you survive the extremes doesn't mean you aren't damaging your heart in the process.
for the record i don't think your diet is extreme, it's pretty sensible from what you have said. Thanks for the link.
