I've begun IF and have found it helpful for losing weight. What works for me is one meal a day being dinner with a workout an hour or so after I finish eating. I may also workout before dinner, after I finish work. I use an apple watch to track my active calories burned and between monitoring what I eat and how active I am, I can control how much weight I can lose on a per day level. It's pretty cool! If I burn ~3500 calories total (2k passive, 1500 active) I can lose up to 1 lb a day. I'd bet I average ~.3 lbs a day of loss and the best part is it stays off! The timing is critical for me more so than anything else. I eat dinner around 7 and workout an hour after I finish eating. Usually I run 2-3 miles. If I get hungry later at night, as I tend to stay up late, I'll have some soup with some bread, olive oil, and spices which I find filling and hits that craving for intense flavors I seem to get. I'm a horrible sleeper and I have no doubt that if and when I focus on improving my sleeping habits in the same way I'd only see more progress in my weight loss journey
