My wife & I have been doing it for about a year now. I had an A1c of 6.5 so was prediabetic. I also gained some visceral fat in the belly region. Kind of krept up on me, since I've never had something like that before. I'm hoping this intermittent fasting thing will eventually get rid of it. I'm not as bad as lots of other guys in general, but it bugs me. The fasting regimen doesn't seem to have helped with that sofar, but my A1c is down to 6.1 last time I tested. I'd like to see if I can get it down into the high 5's if I can. It's been that and cutting out my excess of sugar and sweets, along with moderating my carb & salt intake.
You get used to the change in eating schedule. I get really hungry around 9 to ten o'clock but after that, I loose my hunger. You find you reduce buying certain foods associated with breakfast eating like eggs, bread, butter, jams, bacon (sigh), oatmeal and so on. I don't think I plan on giving it up anytime soon, & my wife likes it. We do have pancakes, eggs, etc. once in a while on Sunday mornings and occassionally go out for breakfast, but that's once a month or so.
