A really interesting BBC show on the subject of intermittent fasting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lxyzc/horizon-20122013-3-eat-fast-and-live-longer
I've been experimenting with alternate-day fasting for a while now. I allow myself whatever I want for breakfast (usually cereal with fruit, or oatmeal) and then I eat _basically_ nothing until breakfast the next day. If I really want one, I'll eat a banana or a grapefruit after a run.
An interesting observation is that I have absolutely no problem exercising on fast days. In fact a 5m run feels great.
If you're interested, I highly recommend giving this a watch: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01lxyzc/horizon-20122013-3-eat-fast-and-live-longer
(If you're not in the UK, connecting via VPN works).
Twice a week fasting, where I eat a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit and nothing else but coffee all day, has been working really well for me. Surprisingly, I've found I'm totally able to run a few miles on my fasting days to boot.
There is some evidence that intermittent fasting can help you lose weight and improve your health. In fact, there have been a plethora of books on the subject. In the UK, this type of fasting diet became very popular after the BBC broadcast a (not very good) documentary about it in 2012. The presenter of the programme (Michael Mosley) then went on to write a best-selling book on the subject.
If you're in the UK, you can still watch the programme on iPlayer
