Intermittent fasting is also best when people also eat low carb foods. Doing IF for 16:8 and eat low carb food during your feasting will help somehow to speed up the weight loss. Just eat meat, eggs and seafood and eat until you're full.
But for beginners, it's advise to just eat first low carb food and don't do IF first. This will allow our body to adjust in the changes thus will turn our body to the ketosis. Always listen to your body.
My plan was to keep my normal diet and to start adjusting to the 16:8 schedule so me and my body can get used to the schedule. After that i plan to start lowering my carb intake. Would that be a workable plan or do you advise something else?
