This is one variation of intermittent fasting - here's a useful link from dietdoctor which explains the concept and practice:
Many of of use this form of eating Johnny. I usually stop eating by 7.30pm and then don't start again until 11.30am or later in fact.
Doing 16/8 doesn't mean you eat less calories, you should still consume the same amount in a day, it helps the insulin level to drop to base line and encourages the body to burn fat. You can drink water, tea, coffee during the fast time.

Yes I do this quite often if my schedule allows. It's actually quite an easy way to control my intake on 2-3 days midweek and I still eat my full maintenance calories over the week as a whole.
Hi Johnnylewis Yes, doing it everyday. It's easy to do it between dinner and lunch the next day 
Good Luck!
I fast 20/24 most days.
I was cold and hungry yesterday evening, and I was a pound below my target weight, so I had a Stilton and rice cake snack ...but, almost every day, I eat breakfast after 10:00, have a fruit snack before 14:00 and then eat nothing till breakfast.
It saves money, it saves time, and it works.
I started by letting my appetite adjust to my requirements for twenty years after I was fit, was exercising and needed to eat.
...and I usually did not eat after 19:00.
Then, gradually, I brought my evening snack forward to 14:00.
hi siim you must be loosing well i think we have talked b4 glad your keeping it up what are your aims if you dont mind me asking i have had to back off fasting getting to much but but still dieting and loosing was getting a lot of pangs of hunger so eased off
If you fast for a portion of the day, you still need to eat enough.
You do not need to go straight to 16/24 or 20/24 fasting, you can gradually narrow the time-slot.
I am still doing OK, thanks.
I weigh-in on Wednesdays, so, after about 22:00 this evening, you can read my weekly weigh-in report.
Does it help to loose a bit weight.
Most of the videos on YouTube do not tell you much, but this explains why fasting for 16 hours or more is better than shorter fasts:
