    Yes.. I do 16:8 and it is a game changer.. i love it... i don't count calories.. it is freeing and it stops cravings and overeating. All of a sudden.. you have control over food. It has been amazing for me. All I do is skip breakfast at eat at 12:30 or 1:00.

    Great to hear that! Unfortunately for me, I have to keep counting calories or else won't lose the weight. But hey, as long as it's working:)

    Ok here is the thing. I do IF and I try to stay and 1200 calories. So far great results. I do 16 hours fasting and 8 hours eating window. :)

    It's very individual. Doesn't work for me (I get grumpy and melodramatic if I skip meals) but some people definitely find it easier to stick to their goals eating this way.

    You lost weight because you ate 1200 calories a day (the default minimum for women before exercise).....meal timing had nothing to do with it.

    However, meal timing may have helped you be more consistent....consistency is good.

    You do know it's not just fat loss right? Large(r) deficits often sacrifice a larger % of existing lean muscle mass than moderate deficits do. There's a trade-off for fast.

    Love it, too... I would much rather eat two substantial meals than try to stretch my calorie budget over to breakfast, which I have never, ever liked, or wanted. I am so not a morning person... the idea of eating before noon is just icky.
