Itās not for everyone, because everyoneās bodyās are different. I found this works for me after much trial and error with losing weight; I was a binge eater, eating all my feelings, my heaviest was 100kg~.
Now I donāt binge eat, I donāt have breakfast, I generally donāt have lunch (Iām not strict though: if I feel hungry Iāll eat), and I have pretty healthy dinners, and I still have chocolate and dessert. Now I hover between 60kg-65kg.
I do recommend, regardless of what your lifestyle is or your normal food/drink habits: cut out all soft drinks, and try to stop having sugar in tea or coffee. Just doing that, I dropped 10kgs. There is so much sugar and shit in soft drinks, it was impressive what cutting all that out did for me.

Took me about 5 years to nail IF.
Fainted a few times at first lol. Trick is not to faint where there are pointy / hard things.

Thatās the eat for 8 hours, fast for 16 hours thing, right?
I have been inadvertently doing that because I rarely eat breakfast! I think I would have a better QoL if I did eat breakfast though, havenāt really tried in a while

IF is intermittent fasting, yep. OMAD is One Meal A Day.
I switch between the two depending on my activity level and hunger. So sometimes Iāll just fast for 16-20 hours and then graze, or Iāll OMAD, and occasionally throw in a 24 hour fast, usually after Iāve had a massive meal, or been eating a lot.
