So basically doing 16:8 or even OMAD intermittent fasting.

(16:8 is 16 hours fasting, and eating everything within 8 an hour stretch, OMAD is one meal a day).

There are quite a few health benefits to eating like this, even if one isn't overweight. Plus if one is a bit overweight, it really helps the weight come off. To burn fat, it turns out that it helps if we have longer periods with no food in our gut.


Nah forget that. I'm down 70lbs since last year. I'm pretty lazy so all I've done is lift weights 45 mins x 3 times per week plus managed my daily total intake of calories, carbs, protein. Used a calorie counter app for a few months until I got in the habit of staying within my parameters until it became habit. I've had to start eating a bit more than I'd like because at 155lbs/6' tall I don't want to get any thinner. Turns out building muscle to replace all that lost fat takes a lot longer!
