I tried for more than 3 months and it did not help me lose or keep a specific weight. In my case, doing 16:8, 20:4, 22:2 type of fasting didn't work bc I was famished by the time I had the meal.
What I've seen in my fasting and weight logs, is that doing multiple day fasts helps me keep weight off. The problem I've had in the past was not transitioning to a 'maintenance' schedule.
I'm doing 3 days of water+coffee (this is my third week). Last time I tried this in 2021 I lost 25 pounds (195->175) in 2 months. My plan now is to transition to 2 days a week once I've lost the weight.
