I have been doing intermittent fasting (IF) on a 16/8 or 18/6 schedule for the last 6 weeks. In combination with keto/LCHF food, keeping my daily caloric intake under 1550, and weight lifting 3x weekly, I've been losing 2.5 lbs/week on average.
IF fits my lifestyle really well, since I only end up eating twice. I feel super energetic and focused while I'm fasted, and the lack of insulin spikes when I do eat have helped too. Besides losing weight, my overall health seems better. Cuts and injuries heal faster, less facial acne (I didn't have a lot to begin with though), and all of my stomach/intestinal issues are gone.
IF works really well for me, and I highly recommend that people try it for themselves for 1-2 months, to see if it works for them too.
