What's all this talk about Intermittent Fasting ?

Does this work for late evening eats? I could probably confine my eating to 2pm to 10 pm and then just coffee and tea the rest of the time. I ask b/c it seems logical that you’d put on more weigh in the evenings b/c you are naturally more sedentary then. I have been pre-diabetic for years and done nothing about it. I have gained about 15-20 pounds in the past 2 years.

Due to my work schedule, those were the same hours I did IF and I had very good results. It wasn’t until I got Covid that IF stopped working for me.
Good luck!
All literature and commentary suggests ANY 16 hour fast plus 8 hour with food will work. Of course, the 8 hours can't be all sweets and chips and fats, etc. Exercise and a healthy diet go hand in hand with IF.
Good luck.

I’ve found one of the benefits of IF is a reduction in my acid reflux. I attribute that to the fact I don’t eat 3-4 hours before bed time. I would think any time would work as long as it’s at least 12 hours fasting , the longer is better.
