I'm on my second week. I've read the book and a few of the original articles referenced. It's a decent summary of the scientific literature but the author makes some claims beyond what the studies actually say. I've always skipped breakfast and if I make to 11am I can make to 1pm without eating so I thought it would be a good choice for me, too. I don't have any trouble with the eight hour eating window at all. At the same time, I haven't dropped any weight. I'm giving it six weeks and if I haven't lost anything I will try to increase the fast time to 18 hours and exercise in the 16-18th hour of the fast.

The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
