Not eating for 24 hours at a time is a form of intermittent fasting known as the eat-stop-eat approach. During a 24-hour fast, you can only consume calorie-free beverages. When the 24-hour period is over, you can resume your normal intake of food until the next fast. In addition to weight loss, intermittent fasting can have a positive effect on your metabolism, boost cardiovascular health and more. It’s safe to use this approach once or twice a week to achieve your desired results. Although this technique may seem easier than cutting back on daily calories, you may find yourself quite “hangry” on fasting days. It can also cause severe side effects or complications in people with certain health conditions. You should always talk to your doctor before going on a fast. They can advise you on your individual benefits and risks. You’ll be well into your 24-hour period before your body realizes that you’re fasting. During the first eight hours, your body will continue to digest your last intake of food. Your body will use stored glucose as energy and continue to function as though you’ll be eating again soon. After eight hours without eating, your body will begin to use stored fats for energy. Your body will continue to use stored fat to create energy throughout the remainder of your 24-hour fast. Fasts that last longer than 24 hours may lead to your body to start converting stored proteins into energy. (found on www.healthline.com/)

I seriously doubt that this diet will have any long term effect. Fasting for 24 hours lets you become hungry and sooner or later, you are bound to crack when all you think about is food. You also need a lot of will power to continue down this lane for the necessary number of weeks.

If you can cut the eating window down, you are creating a fasting period in which the body will have to use its own stored glycogen from carbohydrates and fat as fuel.

Only extremely strong-willed and motivated people will succeed in the long run, so the rest of us better find something easier that produces result over years rather than months. When planning to lose weight, patience is the greatest virtue.
And the runner up? Ignore setbacks and readjust your objectives to a more relistic level.

The problem for many is that when they shrink their eating window, they tend to eat the same amount of food - only more concentrated.

As with most diets, the biggest obstacle is to reduce the total intake over 24 hours or 7 days. You should seek to find food that lets you feel full for many hours and prolongs the interval until you become hungry again.

It all boils down to finding an eating plan that works for your schedule and personality.
