A good time and place to plug results of the IF experiment I did a few years back. FWIW, I have been on a no-breakfast, no-lunch protocol, on weekdays since then and I absolutely love it because it keeps me sharp through the day (no post-glucose “dullness”).

This is a good experiment although you haven’t mentioned how you eat when breaking the fast. It seems a lot of advantages of IF will be suppressed if you continue consuming refined carbs during eating window. I am interested in IF setting where you consume same calories during eating window but only through ketogenic diet.

Thanks! Yes, I can imagine that that hypothesis would hold true and probably contributed to a higher fat loss. But, like I mentioned, I was keen to isolate <i>only</i> the fasting effect, without controlling for the diet.
