Just started this method yesterday, and I'm wondering who has tried it and what kind of results you've seen.

    If you do a search of the forum, you will find probably hundreds of threads about intermittent fasting.

    I've done IF at various times for various reasons over the last 20 years or so. There's nothing magical about it, it still comes down to calories...it's just an eating window. I've lost weight, maintained weight, and gained weight with IF.

    Yup what cwolfman13 said. I've been eating this way for 12 years or so. There's no magic. It's no more effective than straight, long term, calorie restriction. It may have some other benefits long term but there's nothing solid in the research yet. Half say there is. The other half says there is no benefits. Intermittent Fasting just fits really well into my lifestyle. So give it a try and if it's a fit for you, awesome! if not, fall back to just eating within your calorie limit when you're hungry. Good luck on your journey :)
