I may be wrong, but I believe that's called "skipping lunch". It'll probably never catch on, it's not very flashy.

How did you come up with staccato? Do you play an instrument? I play the piano and know a staccato when I see one. Staccato is when notes are shortened. Throw me a bone here. Lol0 -

Good observation - I play guitar, lol.
Staccato - "a note of shortened duration, separated from the note that may follow, with silence". Kinda like breakfast, separated from the dinner that may follow, with silence. 2 -

Awesome! Staccato Fasting it is!3 -
I workout 6 days a week so a traditional IF plan (days on/days off) only works when I commit to giving up my workouts on those days. I do a 5:2 once a quarter and usually only for a couple of weeks to refocus since managing my eating habits is rough (first time I have not been in maintenance mode so its a struggle even though I have a "low" weight loss goal of 10 lbs). On a daily basis I wakeup at 4a to workout so that's when the intake clock begins, I call it quits at 6p with nothing but water until post workout the next day. I am training myself to have more self control with my diet, which helps me take the intensity of my workouts down so I can last through the week.2

Unless you eat beans.
I'll see myself out.2 -
I fasted from breakfast yesterday morning to breakfast this morning and lost .4lb which isn't much but I'm sure if I do it twice a week it'll add up along with my days of exercise and dieting.4

Unfortunately that's not how losing weight works. You're just lighter as you've not eaten for 24 hours so you have less food/water in your system.8 -
I intermittent fast but don't do fixed hours. Before, about 1-2 years ago, I used to eat breakfast and I would want a huge breakfast worth 500-700 calories (not sure since I wasn't tracking then) and I wondered why the weight kept creeping on. Now I realised that an early breakfast is not an option for me cause it made me hungry an hour later. Now I typically eat after 12pm, sometimes at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm is the latest. I finish eating at 8pm normall. When I'm on holiday or with family events non of this applies though
I can easily maintain my weight with IF. I recently lost 6lbs and broke through a tough plateau so feel really good about my plan. Dreading another plateau though. 2 -
4 months ago I started practising omad and lost 17 pounds so far. I think fasting gives me mental clarity and I definitely have more energy when I fast. But I do count calories and weigh my food. You need to be in caloric deficit to lose weight, fasting is only a tool to help you with that.3

How many calories are you spreading out over the week though? Weight loss is calories in vs. calories out.
If you eat zero calories twice a week, do you eat maintenance the other 5? This would be similar (although more aggressive) than 5:2 which gives you 500 for two days and maintenance for the other 5.
You have to keep a deficit BUT you don't want it to be too aggressive. Faster weight loss makes it harder for your body to support existing lean muscle mass. Take a look at the 5:2 link provided. It can give you ideas for 500 calorie days.....here's your maintenance: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/3 -

Not to mention that .4 lb loss will come right back when you put food back in your body, Majority of it would be the food being processed out of your body2
