[quote=Anonymous]IF or "time restricted eating" is actually the easiest and simplest way to control your calorie intake.  You don't need a book or anything else really, except for a clock. I use an app because I'm visual and a gadget called Zero which is free- and it's really just a time clock where you press start to start your fast or end fast each time.

I strive for a 16 hour fasting period which usually looks like this: First meal (eating window) is at 11am, and my last meal is between 6pm-7pm.  That is when I start my 16 hour count.

Now one caveat for the way I do IF- I'm not strict IF where I only drink water between my last and first meal. I have coffee with heavy cream in the morning before my workout. There are some who say this breaks your fast, and some who say it doesn't.  Either way it works for me in helping me to control my weight, and also hunger levels.

After my workout I have my first meal which is protein based. 
Last meal is salad with protein. I try to get around 100 grams of protein per day.  This actually keeps me from feeling hungry until I eat again the next day at around 11am.

Do I feel hungry? Hardly ever.
How long to get adjusted? For me not long because I was already pretty careful about my eating.  
Family eating? As I mentioned earlier I eat my last meal between 6p-7pm which is a normal time to eat dinner so it's seamless.
