The 16:8 method of intermittent fasting is one of the most popular forms, which is why I started with it. I actually found that having eight hours to eat was too long, and it encouraged me to eat for the entire eight hours, even if I wasn't hungry. I decided to try other intermittent methods to see what worked best for me.
I tried 5:2, where you eat 500 calories a day for two days a week, the more extreme alternate day fasting, where you eat every other day, and 20:4, where you fast 20 hours a day.
What I found worked best for me and my workout schedule was to listen to my body and eat when I was hungry and stop when I was full. That meant eating 17:7 or 18:6. I'd eat lunch around noon or 12:30, have a snack midday, eat dinner with my family, be done by 6:30 or 7 p.m., and then sip on some herbal tea. I was able to get in all my daily calories without feeling rushed and without overeating. Plus, I felt like I had time to digest before going to bed at 8:30 or 9 p.m.
