I did/do 16/8 fasting which I find pretty manageable. I get to eat two good sized meals and still have a calorie deficit if I want. Not eating/drinking after 8pm means that you don't drink or snack after dinner which keeps beer consumption to a minimum.
As people have mentioned, I'm not sure if the fasting has a big difference, but the routine has helped me to be more aware of what I eat and when.
Actually, I usually only stick to it Mon-Thurs but just doing this has helped me maintain since dropping quite a bit of weight at the start of the year.

Weight loss stalled at about 5kg thanks to me EATING ALL THE BREAD!
Haven't had a chance to do 5:2 properly, real life just gets in the way too much (the only two days I can easily fast, because they don't contain shitloads of exercise, are two days that my wife and I are both in, and it's nice to have a real meal together.)
I'm probably going to cut right down on carbs (including beer) in the new year, otherwise I'm not going to make it under 80kg for April.
