I'm trying to get my family to try it for a few weeks to spur a lifestyle / eating change but it's been difficult. Most people are locked into the three meals a day (and likely a few snacks) mindset.
I think flipping it around to skip breakfast is far easier, both in terms of self-control and socially. Food is really important to most cultures, and an incredible amount of social cohesion is built around sharing meals together, primarily dinner, but also lunch. But for most people's lifestyle, if you start skipping breakfast, many people won't even notice.
- superflyguy 8y ago"Food is really important to most cultures" I suspect survivor bias is at work here.
- 83457 8y agoLike literal survivor? Not sure I get your point
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoNot OP, but yeah. Those who ate and valued food when it was available were the ones that lived.
- elyobo 8y agoYeah, I think that was the joke.
- Shorel 8y agoThe issue is that it's easier logistically to go to the gym in the morning than going to the gym at noon. So, it depends on how social are you and what other activities you schedule around the fasting.
- Taylor_OD 8y agoI like this idea. It's the next option I'm going to try with them. No eating until lunch at noon and then stop eating at 8pm. That should be do able for most of my family as I don't think they are big breakfast people anyways. It will just cut out that late night snacking.
