re: Does intermittent fasting work?

I over-endulge right before I go to bed and am totally sober, so if allowed food can easily become a vice, even when I eat as clean as I do.
The #1 IF does for me is it gives my digestive system a 16 hour rest. Way less farting, no diarrhea, everything downstairs is regular and on time like clockwork.
#2: it keeps me really sharp in the morning on nothing but espresso until noon(I eat noon-8pm).
#3: I find there to be a sleep improvement.
#4: I find there to be an endurance improvement.
