intermittent fasting failiure

Yes, I confess that after trying intermittent fasting I just didn't think it was right for me. Sure it was a great way to cut out a lot of calories without sacrificing social outings it just wasn't manageable for me. It just isn't my cup of tea. I would much rather go low carb since it is black and white what i can or cannot eat. I would much rather eat something not on my list or none at all for hours. plus when i don't eat anything and go for a car ride I get dizzy super easy so I would much rather have something in my stomach.
Another thing was after my fast I would eat way too much so that little binge canceled out the effect of the fast. my weight did not drop what so ever. I knew what I did wrong but I just like eating too much to go for a 24 hour fast even if it was just twice a week. There we have it this experiment was a failure but I did learn something.

-no matter what diet it is you will reach the point where you want to pig out
-unless you plan out a moment to pig out you will fail due to temptation. unless you have god like discipline.
-Keep yourself busy. I didn't keep myself busy at all so the whole time all I could thing about was eating.

I honestly don't think I will go back to intermittent fasting ever again but if it is something anyone finds interesting then I recommend the book "Eat stop eat" by Brad Pilon
Cheers
