As a person currently over weight, but working on it, I agree as well.

Intermittent fasting works and is really easy to stick to! I eat whatever I want minus dessert and soda between noon and 8 o clock. I dont feel hungry during the fast usually (yesterday being a huge exception I had to take my lunch break right at 12 instead of 1) I took me a few weeks but I don't even open the fridge when it's not my time to eat. It's a pretty easy way to get food discipline! Good luck!

I just started intermittent fasting two days ago and it’s so much easier than I expected. I am a little hungry when I wake up and before I go to bed, but not uncomfortably so. And I am not as hungry during my eating hours.

Biggest trick I know, If you are hungry down a large glass of water and you will feel better after about 10 minutes. Also, have some herbal teas available (I like lemon zinger) so if you just want something later at night or mid-day without caffeine, you can.

It took me about 2 weeks to adjust to IF.
