I 100% support the 16/8 fast. I went from 270 lbs down to a comfortable 190ish (190kg down to 86kg). I tried just fasting first and taking small walks. The walks became longer and longer. Then I started doing pushups each walk in sets of 10 to get my heart pumping. I walked as fast as I possibly could to keep my heart rate up but walking wasn't enough so every time I would feel myself recover, I'd immediately do another 10 pushups. I got to 100 pushups per 2 mile walk and then started jogging the same route and doing pushups in predetermined spots on my route. I started jogging longer and now I'm up to doing my routine twice a day with a total of 8 miles jogging and 400-500 pushups of different styles (diamond, wide, etc.). Never went to the gym during my entire weight loss journey and I feel great. I love my body and can actually take off my shirt without complete embarrassment washing over me. Lost my beer keg gut, strengthened my core A LOT, and toned my muscles. I have broad shoulders so I'm absolutely blown away by how I look. I was always the fat kid from elementary school and stayed fat, miserable, and had no self confidence until I was 25 and decided to do something about it. I have my Dad to thank for all of this because he was a bodybuilder back in the day and when I told him I was nervous about getting a gym membership and going he told me about the pushup/walk/jog routine and said I didn't need one if all I wanted to do was get in shape and lose my gut. You don't need a gym to lose weight!

I like the end "each habits hooks into another habits and create a chain of habits". It sums up really well the programmer life and mentally here. At the end if you want to be a developer yourself be prepared to act your life as actual code running like a foreach loop. Kind of funny to say like that but it's kind of true in a way. Programming is also about optimizing stuff so in the end you're trying to optimize your life as well.
