I can't confirm that. Plenty of sources will attest to that though.
For me, I can't get it to work because I can't stay on a "eating often but eating less" diet as eating enrages my hunger and I eventually overeat just like holding my breath, I eventually breathe.
But with skipping breakfast and lunch, I don't get hungry because I never wake up my appetite so I can succeed in eating less.
And perhaps it is the eating less that counts. But again I cannot confirm that myself and I have a suspicion that long duration with no digestion going on might be key to lowering BP as much as I have (>30 points systolic almost immediately).
A 20:00-11:00 fast didn't seem to be enough to make much difference for me, but maybe because I couldn't succeed in getting the intake down with such a large feeding window.
