I've been eating mostly in the 5pm-10pm window for the last 6 months after watching a few TED talks and related videos. Adjustment took about a week or two. I don't feel hunger during the day but when u get home I eat all I want. Lost 10 kilos and am feeling great. Every other morning I go for a 4K run and every day I go for a swim in the ocean. Don't feel any hunger after the run or swim. I cook breakfast for my family a few times a week and have no cravings while smelling or handling food. The good things about IF are - more free time - breakfast and lunch can be spent having fun - no 3.30itis after lunch - productive all day long - less money spent The bad: - socially awkward. Most social gatherings involve eating. All celebrations are eat-feasts. All in all it's a positive experience and feels more natural. I've been thinking "eat less, exercise more" for a while. But only when I started doing IF I really understood what it means: 80% eat less, 20% exercise more. And exercise must come before food - having a big meal, then going for a walk is not as good for you as doing it the other way around. Run first, eat second - like the lions do it. You have to eat way less and exercise just a little more and your body will adjust. IF is much easier than going for controlled portions. Because "limbic hunger" (look it up).
