re: Does intermittent fasting work?

Of course it works. Weight loss is simple.. Calories in vs calories out. If, for example, you wait until noon to eat your first meal of the day (lunch) and then have dinner in the evening, you're splitting your calories between two meals which means much larger and more satisfying meals. For some people, this is much easier than eating clean. Some others can't handle skipping meals, and that's fine too. I had been doing IF for years without realizing it simply because I'm not a breakfast person.

Also I think they recommend you do your workout(lifting) right before you break your fast. For a lot of people thats around lunch and may not be possible, but if you can i highly recommend it. I didn't lose any energy in my lifts and my metabolism would absolutely crush whatever I ate right after my workout.
