I wonder if intermittent fasting has a place here. It has many health benefits; what is the optimum regularity of meals?
To expand - I generally fast from 7pm in the evening until 2pm the next day. This helps me with appetite/weight control, discipline, and I overall feel better this way. That said, I'm also a lot more productive later in the day. I chalk it up to not being a morning person, but maybe IF is working against me here. However, I notice when I eat in the morning, I feel off the rest of the day. Figuring out the right balance here is harrd, man.
- andai 9y agoDo you do this on certain days of the week, or every day? I'd like to expand on the Holy Trinity by saying not only does chaotic sleep/meals/exercise lead to crap energy levels, but also chronic anxiety, because the body never knows what to expect, so it has to be ready for anything.
- ambivalents 9y agoI do it every week day. Weekends I'm a little more lax, I might eat my first meal at 11. That's an interesting perspective on anxiety. I experience some social anxiety, you've given me something to think about.
- Tharkun 9y agoPlease be aware that intermittent fasting is not for everyone. It can worsen gallbladder issues (gallstones) in some people. YMMV.
