For me, it definitely came down to lifestyle. Fasting daily makes food prep so much easier. I don't spend an hour or two in the evening planning out 4 meals during the day at work. I'm also a fat kid so I really enjoy eating a 1200 calories in one sitting. Lastly, once you really embrace the calories in/calories out concept, you can mix and match both methods depending on what's going on in your life. Nutritionally, they should be the same.

Which method did you find most beneficial---both in nutrition and lifestyle? Why? I think that 16-hour fasts would work best for me. I've tried 24-hour fasts and was completely unsuccessful. I get bored. I eat. True story. So you’ve done both methods, right? Which method did you find most beneficial—both in nutrition and lifestyle? Why?

As long as your performance is just as good, you'll see even bigger numbers come off the scale. @Porter My SPAM filter recognizes rockin' stache's as well. Maybe if you had a gravatar it'd let you through. :-p @Iz

I consume the majority of my calories between 8 and 3 and 5pm is workout time, often I don't feel hungry after working out but then always thought as the above commenter did that if I didn't eat something I'd screw up my metabolism so I'd have like a bowl of cereal. I've steadily been losing weight these past two weeks doing that but I'm going to try and do the total 16 hr fast and not have anything between 3pm and 7am & see if I get the same results or better. Since I've increased my workouts and the intensity of them I think I may have to increase the amount of calories I'm taking in by just a bit, really don't feel like passing out on the gym floor. As always great info. I think I do the 16 hr fasting and didn’t realize it.
