Anybody got the scoop on intermittent fasting? Is it actually healthy?

I like it and think it's helpful when paired with a low calorie diet. I drink a lot of coffee in the morning which helps stave off any hunger. Usually I don't eat until 2 or 3 in the afternoon and will stick with a mediterranean style meal for lunch and dinner. After that nothing until the following afternoon. So far I have kept 35 pounds off.
