I have done the same for over 3 years now and I have had fantastic results in every way. I spend far less time making messes in the kitchen and cleaning them. I spend less on food, I have more energy. But I had a death in the family recently, and I gained almost 10 pounds in a few months. But it doesn't matter because I am already starting to shed them again. This is the key most people don't understand about IF, that you get to keep this skill even when things go wrong, it's easy to right the ship after you have a problem. Also, I don't want to pig out anymore (like I did before doing IF) and if I feel like eating extra dessert, have steak all week (or whatever), I can for the rest of my life without any issues.
