Is anyone doing the "8 hour diet"?

I know Ballerina is or was doing it for maintenance, but this is actually a weight loss WOL in itself as well, so how is it that some use it for maintenance and some for weight loss?

Currently reading The IF Diet by Robert Skinner & really enjoying it, it contains 3 types of IF WOLs, one of which is the "Thirder", eating for only a 3rd of the 24 hour period - and this is shown as a researched method of weight loss.

Having read that it does work for weight loss (presumably when you also watch what you eat), I'm interested in experimenting with it as I am 90% of the time a healthy eater nowadays.

Anyone else had a go & what were your findings?

Thanks

Hi Sophie
I endeavour to do 3x 16:8 weekly (eating freely in restricted timeframe where I eat healthily and the odd calorie laden snack) while still doing 2 x 5:2 and then don't do anything on weekends.

I came to this formula as I had twisted my ankle badly and in order to enable it to heal well had to forgo my usual walks and gym for a few weeks. This catapulted me into sedentary and I was determined to not put on weight with no exercise regime and hopefully continue to shed. I have been successful with steady weight loss and just tonight my DH said wow you are half your size. Slight exaggeration but I have lost 11 kgs (my tracker is a bit out).

Lots of info #5:2 + 16/8 thread very cleverly pulled together by Ballerina

Yes, it's a newer feature that Moogie implemented while you were on "hiatus"
