I am surprised this is even something that needs much discussion. On a personal, one data point, level, when I go 12 to 14 hours a day without eating, I simply feel better. On a personal level I don’t so much care for the science because if I feel better, then intermittent fasting is a good thing to do. On a scientific level, I participated in a Stanford fasting experiment where I used their app to record data. Also, there have been sufficient studies performed on the physical/biological benefits that I also believe in that. All that said, if intermittent fasting is not your thing, I would expect that just getting exercise and eating a healthy diet is good enough.
