I tried intermittent fasting like Elon Musk. I felt bad when I broke my fast, but food had never tasted so good.

• Elon Musk said last year he lost weight through intermittent fasting and lifting weights.
• He was able to lose 20 pounds but got some help from a weight-loss drug. 
• I tried intermittent fasting for a month, and I felt less tired and more productive at work.

Elon Musk said he lost more than 20 pounds last year by "fasting periodically," as well as taking Wegovy, Novo Nordisk's brand of semaglutide.

I didn't want to take a drug, but I decided to try intermittent fasting for a month to see if it helped me lose a few pounds too.
