I've been hearing about a new diet fad. Can you tell me more about it?

The new diet fad is called intermittent fasting, and involves eating only during certain hours of the day (usually between 12 noon and 6 pm) and then fasting for the rest of the day. It's based on the idea that humans evolved to eat in short bursts throughout the day, so we should be able to do this too.
