I'm glad to hear someone else says the same thing. 10g carbs is about ideal for me, and the IF definitely helps. I almost always eat dinner around 5 to 6 pm, then my breakfast the next day is typically around 9, so on a daily basis I pretty much get a 15 hour fast window in my eating….works fine that way and I'm happy with it. Since I eat breakfast fairly late, I rarely eat lunch, so I'm mostly a two meal a day person. On top of that, I've found the rare 24 hour fast works wonders to stimulate scale movement. I think this will be a lifelong thing for me going forward, no way I can ever eat like I used to.
