I've been doing IF this week and it's nice to have some structure to my eating again.
Working long days with a 1+ hour roundtrip walking commute (now 1.5) made my eating window on average 14 hours. I've gotten it back to around 10.
I'd like to restrict food types next. Then maybe I'll get back to yoga. It's been fun neglecting my health for the last year but I can already see where this goes.
I layered dry fasting on top of my normal IF. I highly recommend it, unless you have super low body fat.

I've never done dry fasting. Lots of water fasting though.
I have plenty of fat. I'll have to give it a shot at some point.

I only recently learned about it, but basically water is one of the products of metabolizing stored fat, so you don't need to drink extra water. There are supposedly benefits of producing water internally, beyond just burning body fat, like flushing out intercellular junk.

Thank you for the tip, with the lifestyle we live these days it is difficult to lose weight so any tip that can help me lose some weight is welcome.

I don't know if you already have a fasting schedule you like, but I basically stop eating and drinking around 6:00 pm and then just put off eating and drinking until later in the next morning.
Most diets fail because they're unpleasant to follow, so I take it pretty easy with this stuff.

It also makes sense in terms of all the framing that fasting is presented in: giving the body a rest. My wife already gives me enough crap about the color of my pee though lol
