I have been using Intermittent Fasting for about 3 years. I typically eat between 11am and 6pm, usually eating a little later than 11am and finishing before 6pm. My weight has never been more steady and I am 20 pounds lighter than I was when I started. Like the author I routinely will allow a day each week to enjoy friends and craft beers. Sometimes this is two days a week and then I just go right back to my schedule. My weight stays steady and I feel great. The biggest benefit I noticed is no blood sugar spikes. I tried 3 meals, and 6 small meals throughout the day, I was always hungry and felt like I was always dieting. Not anymore. I am 45 years old, I run and lift weights, but I did both these activities before Intermittent Fasting. I still move heavy weights and my running times keep improving and I weigh the same as I did in my 20s.
