For me, I think this is accurate. I probably shouldn't call it IM. It's at least as much about self-discipline regarding when I allow myself to eat, with the consequent effect that overall I eat less.
Not quite 3 months in this regimen. I've lost about 7 pounds total and my BMI is around 21. If I were doing this to lose serious weight, that's not a particularly effective regime, but I was pretty light to begin with and I didn't have 20 pounds to lose in the first place
If I lose > 3-5 additional pounds, I'm going to need to start eating more. The goal wasn't to emulate Chris Froome's physique (his BMI is around 19).
I like feeling lighter on the bike, even though for winter riding, I'm not really riding too light- heavier cross bike, several pounds of winter clothing and boots, etc.
