I've been doing IF on a 18/6 schedule (every day) for about 9 months. I lost 25 pounds and feel great. I also drink Sole water in the morning for the electrolytes and noticed a big difference in my ability to work out while in the fasting state.
Congrats on the weight loss. I'm glad it works for you. But no thanks to your advice. My goals aren't your goals, as I think I have already made clear.

THere's no way am I going out for 4 hour Minnesota winter rides on weekend mornings without a good breakfast..
