+1 for intermittent fasting. Practicing it now for more than three months - also 16/8 and its great.

- It's simple as a method

- It's simplifying my daily routine

- It's simply good for my body and mind

I also reduced carbonhydrate-based food and instead focus on more protein. Energy from CH is depleted fast while energy from proteins gives me enough energy for the 16 hours of only water.

I'm doing something similar and it's worked out very well. After 10 years of different types of eating habits, I'm starting to think "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a myth.

Interesting, I already notice that I'm way more alert and active when I don't eat late in the night and go to bed a little bit hungry. Could you go into a bit more depth? I know that your metabolism changes quite a lot with eating a breakfast or not but was always under the assumption it kinda kickstarted it.

Wait, skipping breakfast?

Also, what do you mean by 'intermittent fasting'? One day of fasting per week?

What are the purported benefits of this eating pattern?
