Need to lose weight. Is Intermittent Fasting (IF) good?

I was always a fit dude back then around 3 years ago. My BMI was within the average range and well, I would say I looked really fit back then. Then when I met my current girlfriend when we went on foreign dating events we became quite careless about our physical looks and our health. We've been eating unhealthy food and it has taken its toll on me. I've gained about 150 lbs over the last 3 years through an unhealthy lifestyle and I truly want to lose weight. These days, I've become more conscious not just about my health but also about how I look. I don't look bad especially since I'm quite tall. However, I want to bring back my old body. I need legit advice as to how I can lose weight? Has anybody tried IF (intermittent fasting)? And did it work?

Fasting for short periods helps people eat fewer calories, and also helps optimize some hormones related to weight control.Skip breakfast every day and eat during an 8-hour feeding window, such as from 12 noon to 8 pm.
