re: Intermittent Fasting experiences?

Anyone have experience with alternate day/one day fasting? Do you find it incredibly hard?

Lately I've kinda been blowing my weekday deficit by drinking/eating poorly on the weekend. With festival season and vacations coming up, I need a way to meet calorie goals while still enjoying these events. Obviously, I've done unplanned whole day fasting (sick, hungover, busy running errands, etc.) but I'm unsure how it would go on a normal day when I have a normal appetite and am just sitting around.

I'm seeing stuff online about alternate day fasting where you eat day 1, fast day 2, eat day 3, and so on. I'm not so sure I'd want to do it quite that much each week, especially since I don't think I'd eat enough on feeding days to make that math work out in a healthy way. But maybe 1 or 2 days per week. Essentially trying to offset the ~2 days a week I go way too deep into the calorie dense food and beer.
