@jallenaz, I've been doing the intermittent fasting since late March and have lost around 25 lbs so far. It does work well and I stopped feeling hungry after the first 2 or 3 days which kind of surprised me. Have you used the Zero app for your phone? It's a great free tool for tracking the different types of fasts 20/4, 18/6, 16/8, etc -- https://www.zerofasting.com/

No, I haven't tried the app. I don't think I need to lose any more weight. My wife thinks I look emaciated already. Now I just sort of use it to maintain my weight by skipping breakfast but then have something around 9 or 10 o'clock for a snack and green tea. My BMI is where it should be. The hard part now is that I want to take my prednisone in the morning but don't eat until 9 or 10. On weekends that's not convenient because I might go all morning without eating. I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet. I might just have to eat something earlier. It seems to be a balancing act.
