I tried for about a week and while I noticed the non-weightloss benefits I didn't lose much weight. But to be honest I didn't eat clean at all. I also didn't exercise...

During those 20-hours, you eat nothing but fruits and veggies with a low glycemic index so as not to mess with your blood glucose. There are several studies showing that fasting increases the rate of fat metabolism, that is the fat stored in your body. Then for four hours, like 5-9 in the evening, you eat as much as you want of good quality food.

First I would have a bowl of soup with extra veg in, then a protein source, and then I would eat carbs until I started to feel thirsty.
