If you are not very ill with diabetes or cancer, I recommend that you start getting into "fat-burning mode" by not eating after mid-evening (or missing breakfast) and then gradually narrow your eating window. Intermittent Fasting is very much more effective and easy if you combine it with the Lower-Carbohydrate, Higher-Fat (LCHF) diet. This helps weight-loss by helping to get you into fat-burning mode. Eat "normal" food, but cut way down on sugar and high-carbohydrate and refined carb foods like bread, cake, biscuits, pasta, potato etc. - and eat more high -fat foods which satiate and decrease craving for snacks. You do not have to be too masochistic... see how you feel and change the plan accordingly.
