Any tips on how it works for you and maybe suggestions to get back into this lifestyle change?

    works as in...??? IF is an eating schedule, not a diet. 2500 calories in an 8 hour window (or whatever your window is) is the same as 2500 cals in a 14 hr window. thermodynamics are not outruled

    I essentially eat two meals a day, it helps me with calorie intake.

    It works making me not hungry even in a calorie deficit. That's about it.

    Late evening where you have most of your calories; overnight during rest your body has plenty of nutrients to use and repair body, said that we burn more while at rest. Also working out the next morning with an empty stomach forces body to use fat stores as fuel. We have to sort of starve ourselves to force out the fats from their hiding places.

    Wrongggggggggg

    I really wish my fat would go find some place to hide instead of hanging out around my belly!

    Search in Groups. You will see that there is an active "Intermittent Fasting" group.

    I am currently on 5:2. I eat normally(1450 -1600) 5 days a week and 500-550 2 days a week. It is difficult, but not impossible. On fasting days I eat 3 meals (veggies and egg white or oats with half a banana or blueberries) and 2 teas(green tea or fruit tea - which is 0 calorie).
