I've been practicing intermittent fasting for close to 2 years, with a 2-6 hour eating window each day. Most of the time the fasting period has been around 20 hours a day.
For a month now I've switched to one meal a day (OMAD), only eating dinner with the family. I only eat home made low carb meals. Being 50+ I've been able to keep the weight in check, BMI now 22.3.
Hunger or lack of energy is not a problem, it's more the I sometimes out of "boredom" want to eat to pass time. But since I do not want to break the routine, it keeps me from snacking.
I always feel a state of "serenity" during the fasting periods.
