Welcome to MFP!

There are many different types and levels of Intermittent Fasting. For example, I've been doing 16:8 for decades, long before IF was even a thing. I've just never been a breakfast person, so skipping it (other than my beloved cup of coffee!) leaves me plenty of calories for a good lunch and dinner, as well as a few evening snacks.

In and of itself, there is no advantage or 'magic' to Intermittent Fasting, despite all of the hype and pseudo science which abounds on the internet. Weight management is all about how much you eat and not when you eat it. IF, however, is a useful tool for some people to help control their daily caloric intake by limiting their 'eating window' to within a specific time frame. That's it, that's all.

I am just starting to explorethe idea of IF as a way to reduce inflammation. I am going to see if 16/8 works for me. Sending you a friend request

Very great! I also use IF. I have gotten my window down to 18:6. Very helpful since I work night shift.
