Well, today is day 21. One thing I really liked about RFLB was that I had no hunger, no cravings. I felt really good on it. (As I do on EODD.)
However, in the final analysis: not much happened. I had done EODD diligently for about 3-4 weeks prior to RFLB and was losing about a pound a week. My fat percentage was also dropping, slowly. Since doing RFLB diligently my weight has dropped less than 5 pounds, my fat percentage has stayed exactly the same. My muscle mass has stayed exactly the same. My total water dropped at first, then came back up to essentially the same. All those measurements come from a new bodyfat scale and conceivably could be inaccurate.
Unfortunately, my size measurements and the way my clothes fit are also exactly the same. It's actually hard to believe given my calorie counts and that that I was basically exercising at least twice as much as what I was doing before.
So I guess it's back to EODD now, hoping to go back to slow and steady. I had hoped to jump past some of those numbers, but I guess not!

I've found that as long as I'm dropping the fat and inches, the best is not to mess with what I'm doing and keep the secret weapon for a crisis situation - i.e. a plateau, or a slip-up getting some fat to build back up and needing a boost to get started back on the right track.
RFLB does work 99% of the time, to various degrees. I've never seen better than a 9-pound drop personally, though I know I carry more "reserves" than that. Others do drop 20 or more pounds.
