Intermittent fasting-thoughts?
I've had some conversations with both ends of the spectrum on whether fasting is a good idea and I am curious to hear of others who have had experiences with fasting.

Are you talking about for weight loss or other reasons?
For weight loss 16/8 is a regime that helps you consume less calories over a 24 period. You fast for 16 hours and only eat in the other 8. 5/2 is similar but over a week and limiting yourself to 500 calories on the two fast days isn't for everyone.
Basically in order to loose weight you have to run a calorie deficit diet. Put in less fuel than what you consume. As simple as that. Low carbohydrate high protein diets are very useful for achieving this. Sugar is your enemy and full fat (in moderation) your friend.
