It's one style of intermittent fasting. This has you fasting for 16 hours and consuming all your calories in an 8 hour window. Most skip breakfaat or dinner so that you are asleep for the majority of that 16 hours.
It may sound hard, or crazy, unhealthy. But actor Terry Crews, for example, fasts intermittently and....well, look at him.
I remember when I simply didn't eat breakfast, had a small can of soup for lunch and then ate a reasonable dinner and I weighed 125 most all my life until I reached the age of 50. Now............... WHOOPS! There it is.
I know but I worked night shift for 10 of those years and we worked 6 days a week for 12 hours a day. When I finally retired, my husband who is half Italian/German started feeding me lots of pasta and making me breakfast. I started eating again and never stopped. I need to lose about 40 pounds and I would be HAPPY. But now I babysit my 2 youngest grandkids ages 1 and 3 and I have to get up at 3:30 every morning. I can't sleep through breakfast and I wish I knew some way to force my mouth shut. Haha.
Both of these people cover keto and intermittent fasting and are very thorough in that regard.
16/8 is an 8 hr feeding window and is a common way people start intermittent fasting.
You skip breakfast and eat from noon until 8PM. Myself, I started off with a 6:30 minute feeding window from noon until 6:30 PM (and could "cheat" until 8 PM).
Eventually I moved to OMAD and now only eat once a day between 12PM-1PM with the occasional cheat day where I'll eat something terrible (usually I go out for ice cream with my wife) outside my feeding window. This is mostly just to shock my system and let it know I'm not actually starving. The trick here is to keep the cheat days to a minimum.
With that being said, I'm only 10 lbs. from my high school weight and dropped all of the weight I gained since moving from construction work to an IT desk job. I can vouch for intermittent fasting/OMAD. I do not do keto but I have cut a lot of sugar and carbohydrates from my diet. I still eat rice and pasta, but not in huge quantities.
That sounds good. I don't think I could fast for 2 days straight before eating, I believe it would put my stomach in shock and cause me to eat more. But I could probably do the skip breakfast and eat from noon until 8PM. I was dieting 2 years ago until my granddaughters moved in. I kept up with my calories, cut out a lot of the carbs and sweets, ate a lot of veggies and greens, watched my portions, worked out on the treadmill for 5 minutes/ twice a day, stationery bicycle road 6 miles/ twice a day and then I would put on something fast like Rolling Stones and dance one or two songs twice a day. I lost 20 pounds rather quickly, then I got e-coli from some bad lettuce and lost 14 more, and after that starvation of 13 days worth of sickness from the e-coli, I started eating like a hog. So I guess I'll have to start all over. I would also drink chicken broth once in a while instead of eating and make that my fast day. Wish me luck; once these holidays are over, I'm gonna have to change my lifestyle or throw my husband out the backdoor for feeding me fattening food. Haha. Thanks for the videos. Saved on computer to watch after baby is asleep. God bless.
With fasting, I think it's important to start off doing something like the 16/8. Eventually you'll hit a wall and won't see much progress.
Slightly changing your routine, even if it's to eat more on a "cheat" day (counter-intuitive, I know) can work wonders as well.
I don't view what I'm doing as a diet, but more as a lifestyle change. Have to say it's pretty amazing to be reducing my grocery bill in spite of what Sleepy Joe and his minions are doing to our economy.
Okay. I had heard of where you ate for 2 days and fasted for one but not the other way around. I may have to try it; BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW I'M GONNA CHEAT ON THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS. Have a blessed day.
What is 16/8? Am I missing something here? I've never heard of it.

Then you were accidentally doing the right thing all those years! lol

I've been eating one meal a day for a couple of years - at least. You get so that you don't get hungry in between those one-per-day meals.
My meal is fairly big and keto - eggs, meat, some berries and some veggies, one slice of keto bread, a green drink and coffee, butter and sour cream.
That's about it for over two years. Take a lot of supplements - vitamins and minerals and brain food.

Ain't that the truth. Thanks and God bless.
Intermittent fasting, you keep everything to an 8 hour window for food consumption and fast the other 16.
