I do a 19-24 hour fast every day. I drink only water, coffee, or tea during the fast. It is actually really simple. I eat whatever I want during a 5 hour window each day- usually from 2PM- 7PM. I eat nothing in between those times. I have never been hungry in the morning so I use that to my benefit. I am not a slave to the plan and occasionally do not follow it, but I generally stick to it about 90% of the time. If friends are over, or the redhead wants to go to a Sunday brunch, I don't worry about- we just eat. You don't need to be a social pariah to follow this plan!
It is a very flexible plan. If I know that the redhead has dinner reservations with friends at 9PM- I adjust the "eating window" accordingly. I do not follow any diet or restrict myself, I simply eat whatever I want during the 5 hour "eating window". ( you will be surprised at how easy this is!) I went from 215 lbs to 190 and have maintained 190 fairly easily. It's the easiest "diet" I've ever followed! I plan on dropping down to 180 over the next few months.
I have also water fasted for 3, 5, and 7 day periods. During those longer fasts my health has improved dramatically. My skin, hair, and nails all improved. My energy levels were massively high. I highly recommend it to anyone. I have come to enjoy the feeling of an empty stomach.

I am always uplifted when I hear of those I love successfully succeeding, even if by something labeled with such a flawed label. No, nevermind. It isn't always a trick, understood.
Do NOT do something that comes by chemical induction other than that by nature? It is a harder call than one 'thinks'. For so many, it genuinely works.
