Intermittent fasting

What I've been wondering is this: 

 

If I have managed to cut out snacking, is that a bit like intermittent fasting? 

 

I don't really think in terms like "my window" for eating, but if I stop eating at dinner, around 6-ish, and then wait until a bit after 8 the next day for breakfast, isn't that kinda the same?

    It sounds very similar. The most common is the 16/8 method but you're doing more like 14/10 but it looks like you're already doing it!

      There are many different "schedules" so if it's working for you, I'd stick with it :)

      I've had similar luck with weight loss, although I don't have "scheduled" cheat days. I tend to cheat when I really need to. ;)

    I don't think cutting out snacking qualifies, but thr no food after 6 until the following morning should.

      Yeah, that's a good point.
      
      In my mind, it's been about cutting out snacking, so that's the way I presented it here. But I have noticed that as part of my efforts, I have came around to doing something which seems similar to intermittent fasting.

    Yes, it's exactly the same thing, especially if your consistent. Snacks are ok as long as they fit into your feeding time, and you're hungry.
