I've been doing this for about 5 years now. I was a bit podgy round the middle and my Doc suggested it (it worked for her).

After dinner between 6 or 7pm I don't eat anything till about 1pm next day (so about 18 hours). Just drink plenty of water and some coffee.
Initially I slowly lost about 20lbs (9kg) and since then I've stayed pretty slim, well within my BMI. So it's worked for me.
Apparently its good for your metabolism also.

Here's a video of a Doctor talking about it (sorry about the vocal fry she has and overuse of the word "like")

Does anyone else do this ?

I've tried it over the years, generally don't eat after 7pm but only go to 11:30 or noon the next day, have been told 16+ hours is the minimum for men to get a benefit. 

I am "pudgy" now, maybe it would be good to start up again

I'd like to give it a go but Im one of these types who needs to eat first thing when I get up otherwise I feel blah. So for Me I'd need to have dinner by around three or four o'clock.

Hm; I've been meaning to try this. My friend Jessica back in Nevada and I would joke, if only we could go to bed at 5:00 pm or so, and not get up until midday the next day, we'd lose weight easily. 

But I do mean to drop some pounds—when I do get to a beach I'd like to do so without too much self-consciousness. Of course, I'll never get my 20-year-old bikini body back, but a close—or even not-so-close— approximation would be nice.

Wife is exactly the same, wakes up hungry, it's been easy for me as I never liked eating breakfast.

I recently watched some videos from Dr. Berg, he talks much about 16/8 rule.
So maybe I'll give it a try. But yet I only try do not eat in the evening and have a breakfast as late as possible.


When I shaved off my beard, I found that there was a lot of excess left on my face. So I have to solve this problem

I’m now  trying a similar thing. Two days a week you cut the calories way down (to 500 to 600). Then eat normally the rest of the week. I find it manageable as I’m not a huge eater anyway and so mainly cut down on lunch and make sure I go off the grog for those days.  Jury’s out on if it’ll work though.

Keep us posted! I've been tempted to try this myself.

you could move to Florida and fit in nicely with dinner by 4:00

Welcome back.  I hope this cruise was better for you and Gwyneth, Kev.

I have to second that, nim. And having seen how easy it is to order and eat food on the one cruise I have been on, I'd say you have shown remarkable restraint. 

[nimrod]

Yes thank you Baz and Kathy it was really nice, no illness at all.
A splendid time was guaranteed for all.
