Intermittent Fasting becomes so easy after a few days. I'm doing One Meal A Day, which is basically a 20 hour fast followed by a 4 hour window for eating. Once you realize that you are more thirsty than hungry, it's a snap. Drink all the water you want, ditto for black coffee and green tea. You don't have to do it every day (hence the intermittent part), but you will find it becoming a habit.
I recommend getting the Zero app. It not only provides research for the science behind and benefits of IF, it also works as a timer for your fasts, and keeps track and stats for your past fasts.
