Hi there. I've been using 16/8 intermittent fasting for the past year and a half, and it's worked wonderfully. Down about 36 pounds since 01/01/2017. At the age of 43, I currently weigh less than I did when I entered high school nearly three decades ago.
Here's a small bit of advice that might be helpful if you decide to adopt this eating plan over the long term. Get enough soluble/insoluble fiber! My personal definition of "enough" is 60+ grams per day, ideally spread evenly across breakfast, lunch, and dinner (I keep an open public mfp food diary, just in case you're curious about what this looks like in practice). Getting a lot of fiber can be a tricky thing to accomplish, unless, like me, you really, really, really, realllly love Dannon Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt and chia seeds.
