    Why?
    Please don't.

    A response written as someone who knows nothing about IF.

    OP, I have done it doing Eat Stop Eat and a 16:8 type. At the moment I am doing sort of 16:8. I tend to prefer Eat Stop Eat, but it seems my schedule is falling into the 16:8 quite naturally right now. It is not some sort of magic that gives amazing fat loss, it is simply a different way to establish a deficit, at least in terms of Eat Stop Eat in which you fast for 24 hours one or two days a week and eat at maintenance the other days.

    Oh, the e-book Eat Stop Eat is an excellent purchase as well. Brad Pilon does a good job dealing with the objections to Intermittent Fasting, as well as the benefits. As an added bonus, if you purchase it, when he updates it, which he does every couple of year so far, you get the updated version free--at least that is what has happened so far with me.
