The 16/8 method
This method requires you too fast fo 16 hours and to eat for 8. When you do eat it should be 2-3 meals and not an over abundance of calories.
Whats nice about this, is you can simply stop eating at diner and wake up and skip breakfast and start at lunch.

daily fasts of 16 hours for men and 14–15 hours for women. Each day you’ll
restrict your eating to an 8–10-hour eating window during which you fit in 2,
3, or more meals.

Diet, involves eating 500–600 calories for 2 days out of the week and eating
normally the other 5 days.
Spontaneous Meal Skipping
This method is one of the easiest to follow. it allows you to save calories on a random schedule. Basically, by skipping a meal, you will go into a fasting state and reduce calories for a short period of time. This maybe a good way for a lot of people to start out.

meals when you don’t feel hungry or don’t have time to eat.
Eat Stop Eat

hundred calories.

one huge meal at night.
