Choose a fasting window of 8 hours a day (say from 12AM to 8PM) in which you eat as much meat and veggies and a bit of fruit, to satiety. Then don't have breakfast the next day until you've entered your fasting window at 12AM again.
I have tried some measure of fasting similar to a Sumo wrestler diet but I didn't notice any big changes. I was still dropping 2lbs per week. Which isn't bad, if that's all I can get for now I can still work with that. But I used to get 3-4 lbs.
I looked around the website and couldn't find any specific information, just links to sign up or buy a book. I am curious about the specifics. Not enough to purchase a book though.

These days I'm good at fasting, in the past it would have been impossible. After going through an emotional rough spell with a divorce, etc... my body learned how to not eat for long stretches.
