Intermittent Fasting

I do the Fasting Mimicking Diet for 5 days each month, for longevity. But there's been good results for those trying to lose weight. I think this is the healthiest way to restrict calories that I've seen.
I prepare my own food, but this program will send exactly what you should be eating during the 5 days:

I did a ghetto version of that. I ate only when I was hungry and tried to hold off until I knew for sure that I actually need to eat. I know it sounds stupid, but I was never a breakfast person, yet always forced myself to have breakfast throughout the years. Eating before leaving the house always felt like I'm force feeding myself.
I went to eating my first meal at 2pm, sometimes 4pm, whenever I felt like it.
I would also stop eating whenever I started feeling satisfied, not when the portion was done. Oh, I also decided to drink whatever I felt like, instead of what was the easiest to grab, which usually led me to tea (green or black) with some honey. That was the best diet I have ever done. And extremely easy to maintain, as I really just did what I wanted. I have no idea how much I lost, but the results were great and I became very happy with my body. Then I moved in with my girlfriend who loves snacking and eating at predefined times, and it's weird to eat at different times - it would take too much of our time.
These days I just skip proper breakfast while eating lunch and then dinner together, which is at least pretty similar to what I would naturally want. It's the snacking that kills me, as it's hard to say no to nachos during a movie night, or ice cream on the beach, despite the fact I wouldn't do that if it was just up to me, as I'm not a 'snacks' person.
What stuck though is not eating past full, but it's crazy how socially unacceptable leaving leftovers is sometimes. I have hard time explaining that it is not wasted food, especially when a close one cooks, but it is food that would make me fat, that I wouldn't enjoy anymore anyway, even though I loved it.
