Intermittent Fasting

Hey all:
Just found this thing called Intermittent Fasting. I am really interested in trying it out because I'm just a curious girl and plus it sounds healthy. But I don't want to start anything new without seeking some advices here. Just want to know what are your thoughts on IF and of course any past experiences with IF.
Thanks :happy:
Here is a little information about IF, if you are curious 2

Here's a good article on it:

This is the site that somewhat generated the IF hype...Fitness Spotlight shares a lot of the same dietary and fitness advice/views of Mark Sisson.

I've done it a few times...Mostly when I'm in a social situation where I don't want to eat the proverbial crap that's being offered. It also works well after a large meal in the evening - fast onward to lunch after waking in the morning.

I also do fasted workouts and there's a lot of contradictory info out there on that. Take it at face value and do what works for you. I think IF is a good thing and can be used to one's benefit.
