I'm not a doctor, just sharing my experience.
So I've been doing intermittent fasting for awhile now. Generally following the 16/8 plan, 16 hours without food, 8 year window to eat food. Some days if I can't handle it, I still do a min. of 12 hours of fasting, but generally it's at least 15-16 hours I've been getting decent results getting to autophagy state and burning fat. A few times I have done a full 24 hour fast, and went as long as about 36 hours.
Biggest changes I have noticed is the ease in which I can resist eating, especially late at night. One easy approach is just to skip breakfast, go to lunch and then have your last meal at around 8 pm. Also, weight loss, and lack of desire for the sweets which I normally love to eat.
Dr. David Sinclair has been a motivator for me as well as he is very well versed on the subject of life extension and has many suggestions, from supplements to caloric restriction etc. If anyone is interested in this subject matter, he is a great place to start.
