I've done this for the past several years and I had good results not gaining weight, and losing moderate amounts. Its my favorite way to eat since I don't have a big sweet tooth, and you just feel good avoiding processed junk. However, in retrospect I wasn't exercising intensely enough so I found that my metabolism slowed down, putting a floor under the weight loss. It's possible to eat very little food of this type and be satisfied. IF becomes very easy.

It probably should be combined with HIIT and maybe carb cycling, to avoid a down-regulated metabolism.

Anyway, since I've started lifting (SS) I've temporarily given up being very low carb. I'm still avoiding processed carbs though (for example, white flour and sugar, and most anything in a box or package).
