Somewhat perpendicular, but intermittent fasting has been a great recent lifehack for me. I skip breakfast every day, and sometimes skip lunch. Gives me back at least an hour every day. And gorging for dinner is a lot of fun.
- antoineMoPa 8y agoSkipping lunches is also a good method of spending less time at work and more time outside enjoying life. I only take 15 minutes noon breaks now.
- elyobo 8y agoI eat lunch and it still only takes 15 minutes :D
- antoineMoPa 8y agoEither way, that's fast ;)
- rc_bhg 8y agoThat is not a healthy diet. You should be eating smaller meal more often. If you are going to fast, do it for at least a 24 hour period.
- mtgx 8y agoEating more deals in a day (whether small or large) = more insulin spikes throughout the day = less of a chance to heal your insulin resistance.
- laiden_swallow 8y agoI mean intermittent fasting where you fast for ~16 hours and then eat larger meals during the remaining 8 is pretty popular.
- mirceal 8y agoI think it’s worth considering what a healthy diet really is. Is it really healthy or are we just used to thinking it’s healthy? As an example, a diet high in fat is generally considered by most people to be unhealthy. You see people doing Keto and you start wondering if it’s really unhealthy. Eating red meat is considered to be the unhealthy. You see people doing ZeroCarb diets and they (at least) look extremely good/healthy. Fasting is generally considered unhealthy. You have people doing intermittent fasting, ADF or extended fasting at it works exceptionally well for them. Vegan? It works really well for some people. IMHO there isn’t one thing that works for everyone as far as diet goes. There are also the theoretical and the practical aspects of what we eat and when we it it. I think everyone should try different things and figure out something that works for them, long term. It should not be a “diet”. It should be just something that blends into your lifestyle and gives you results for the investment you’re making.

- mirceal 8y agoReducing sugar is probably a good idea.
- bartread 8y agoI skipped breakfast for years, until I realised it was the reason I was always in a bad mood for the entire morning. Skipping breakfast and lunch might work for you, but it's definitely not a solution for everybody.
- 013a 8y agoThe crazy thing about diets is how differently everyone responds to different plans. For me, if I eat anything significant for breakfast (lets say > 400 calories), I am STARVING by the time lunch rolls around at noon. Like, stomach in pain, I need food now, I'll have 2 pounds of wings and a side of macaroni, thanks. But that overindulging doesn't carry over to dinner, which is pretty typical. So, the synthesis of all of that is eating breakfast significantly increases my caloric intake for the day, despite having no measurable difference on energy, mood, etc. If there are any rules that have worked for me, it's: Eat less, Eat less often, and Avoid carbs.
- triviatise 8y agoI find this true on a high carb breakfast (which most breakfasts are). If I eat 4 eggs for breakfast I easily go until dinner without eating, but will usually eat around 3pm. Then some days skip dinner.
- alecco 8y agoTry having lots of beans at dinner. The resistant starch gives you a "second meal effect" the following morning.
