intermittent fasting the easy way, 16 hr fast, 8 hr window to eat

A 300lb guy lost 100lb easily doing the 16/8 intermittent fast for a year.
The 16/8 is easy to do, and is catching on in popularity in the regular world.
People with full time jobs, they report healthier weight and better energy throughout the day.

For comparison to the 16/8, monks, nuns, yogis keeping 8 precepts are doing 20/4 or 19/5 intermittent fasting easily.

If you eat healthy food, you can eat as much as you want, never feel nutritionally deprived,  doing 19/5 intermittent fasting, it's pretty much impossible to have unhealthy weight (assuming no unusual health problems).

There's a large number of yogis and monastics who have been doing this long term that are a testament to this, and it looks like health conscious worldlings are joining the party.
