And I walk at lunch because I work in Washington DC and it's a beautiful city. So all the exercise I get is against my better judgement. Most personal trainers who know what they're doing will tell you that weight loss is AT LEAST 80% diet... not dietING, but diet as in how, what, and when you eat.

Hmmm, it's not needed and it's just extra calories, so why put it in my mouth? I bought the thinnest wallet I could find and carry the bare minimum in it... I buy the thinnest, smallest clothes I can find that fit well so that I use less fabric...I rarely drive a car unless I have to carry passengers because of all the extra stuff like a spare tire, three extra seats, so much metal and glass, what do I need to carry all that stuff around with me for?? All kinds of things in my life are like that. And eating once a day fits into that mindset beautifully. I know minimalism isn't for everyone, but it works for me.

I agree with the walk when you can, minimalist habit, unless you need to haul more than you can carry as you walk. You need to check your insurance as well Rick, and will probably find you have been charged at a 10,000 miles per year Default rate. When you show that you drive less than this, your insurance rate will go down.
I definitely agree that people are often misled by the "5 hour eating window" and shy away from one meal a day minimalist approach.
When:
After experimentation, I'm seeing that eating that big Breakfast of fat and protein shortly after I wake is preferable to holding off to the Book default 5:00 PM. You are fully fed during the daytime when most active, then sleeping is a time period where you will be unaware that you are reaching end of fasting period.
Gary Taubes, Eades and Barry Groves realize that Carbohydrates such as Grain, which turns into Sugar as soon as it reaches the saliva in the mouth are at the root of insulin rises.

The Minimalist approach also means to not get hung up on Counting. You are minimizing the amount of time you are eating and causing insulin to rise, while the Fasting period is when your Insulin levels are decreasing. Eat plenty of fatty meat/eggs at your Breakfast to Fill, and it will hold you over for the needed 20 some hours of continual fasting, something that Grains will Not do. In fact, those type of Carbs typically cause cravings for more.
Speaking of D.C. I noticed Michelle "the Obesity Czar" is hanging out in front of Walmart bragging about how her Corporate/Gov new eating recommendations are going to lower Sugar and Salt levels, yet no mention of all the Grains (at base of Food Pyramid for years) which quickly convert into sugar, like the Fructose sugar in the Fruit Govt. always recommends. I wish they would break from alphabetical order and call them "Green Vegetables and Fruits". And we will be better off if we put Fat, then Protein at the crux of our own eating plans.
Avoiding grains as much as possible is my belief as the Best answer for What to eat.
If you are going to Intermittent Fast, you need to eat enough of the Right Stuff, to be able to hold you over for 20 some hours until you next Break Fast.
