There are few different methods. You're referring to 5:2. You could also have a window, like an evening, when you eat, but fast through rest of the day. A really good one and easy to implement is eating less (up to ~600kcal) every other day, and not counting calories on off days. Studies show it gives you benefits of longer fasts with much less effort. People doing it tend do over eat less on off days, than they cut on fast days, reducing overall calorie intake. The good thing about IF is that you can do it the way you want, adjusting to your lifestyle.
