Fasting is not for me, but I understand it works for some people. Even though I don't fast properly, I could tell there's about 12 hours between my last meal of the day and my breakfast. I have stopped forcing my eating habits and am simply sleeping more and better; now I am finally losing weight, slowly, and I feel like walking and biking again even if it's hot outside. I hope fasting works for you; my eldest sister tried it and succeeded for a round year. She feels great now.
