Whelp. I've lost about 10lbs and 2% bodyfat in the last 6 weeks by fasting 2x/week. I haven't otherwise changed my diet or lifestyle at all.
I wasn't particularly unhappy with my weight, either - I've just noticed that my weight tends to creep up by 1lb/month when I'm not paying attention, so I'm always passively looking for lower willpower ways to manage weight.

My findings: Hangry Levels peak at around 5 out of 10 on fasting days, which is noticeable but not overly distracting. Hangriness doesn't steadily increase in intensity throughout the day like I feared. My energy levels are consistently higher on fasting days.

Here's how the results-to-effort ratio compares to the long chain of weird diets I've experimented with: 1. GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) diet for a month at 20. Good results, low effort, because I looove milk. I gained 10lbs of muscle in a month, but I also got fat.

2. Cooking paleo for a year at 24. Poor results, high effort. 3. Living on Soylent for a month at 27. Poor results, low effort, unless you consider the amusement of my family via TMI Facebook posts a notable result.

4. Eating only fish and eggs for a month at 28. Max effort, scary results. I lost 1% bodyfat per week, which is fairly unhealthy. This diet came from a bodybuilder friend.

5. Counting calories with MyFitnessPal for a month at 29. Max effort, medium results. I only lasted like 4 days. I just can't abide looking at my phone this often. 6. 18 hour fasts twice/week: low effort, great results! Nice!
