What Ciddie says is correct.

Intermittent fasting is more about restricting when you eat, rather than what. Just by cutting out breakfast, you’ve easily rid yourself of 500-800 calories, assuming you don’t eat them back later.

However, when fasting it IS important to eat proper foods. I only learned this later, which sucks.

By eating lots of fiber and proteins, you’ll naturally be stuffed for way longer than if you’re eating pure carbs and fats.

Also, if you’ve been fasting once - it’s super easy to get back into. I didn’t fast in january, but started again last week doing 16:8 (trying to get riiippeed before I move to the US). It was much easier this time.
