Yeah, recovering from an eating disorder and trying out new diets can get a little questionable. People with a history of ED are prone to taking any nutritional choices to extremes, sometimes to such an unhealthy extent that they relapse into disordered eating. That's not to say you can't try it, but you should consult your therapist first to figure out a way to try it healthily (like eating a lot more than 1000 calories a day) and/or whether or not it's a good fit for your personal ED history.

What makes IF better than something like that? Or are they the same?

They both regiment your eating patterns, which helps to cut down on things like impulsive snacking and forgetting meals that can mess with your weight and overall health, but with PPRE, that scheduling is the entire point, whereas IF is meant to induce certain metabolic effects, and the benefits of thinking about and scheduling meals just end up being added bonuses.

(Side note: Totally parsed that as "erectile dysfunction" on the first pass >.>)
