So I have been following the 16/8 rule for IF for a few weeks and it seems to work well for me. I eat between the hours of 1-8pm every day then fast starting at 9pm. Has anyone else been following this type of lifestyle and had success? I'm worried about following it long-term...

    I do. My window moves from 10-6 to 12-8 depending on my schedule for the day. I've been doing it for about 6 weeks now, combined with 5:2. I'm losing consistently and it has helped me end my habit of grazing at night.

    Awesome; yes following it has helped me with snacking lol
    I haven't tried the 5:2 yet- I have heard good things about that as well.

    Since I am up at 3am, my window is 3am-5pm most of time.

    I did a 10-6 for about 6 months last year and I loved it. I'd still be doing it if I hadn't had two kids :P I always found that breakfast and late night snacks cut into my calories so much that this nearly eliminated them. Granted, I was completely miserable for the first month but it help me keep my caloric intake in check.
