I find fasting very easy on weekends, very difficult during the week, because the 9-5 routine implicitely stipulates when you should eat. Solving the situation where people need to spend 70% of their waking hours in a job would have huge flow-on effects allowing people to exercise regularly, cook at home more, and eat/live on their own body's schedule.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoI just skip breafast. Lunch around midday, dinner as soon as I got (I not longer work full-time) home around 7pm. Fits inside the 8hr window and I honestly found skipping breakfast quite easy. I'd have a couple black coffees throughout the morning, and that's it.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoArticle recommends a 16 hour window and skipping lunch as well a few times a week.
- trumpeta 8y agoI think they meant that a lunch at 12:00 and a dinner before 19:00 fit together in an 8h window, which gives you 16h fasting window.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y ago“Examples of such prescriptions include fasting or caloric restriction (e.g., 500 calories) on alternate days or 2 d each week, or forgoing breakfast and lunch several days each week” They do however state that there is no single prescription yet and that various timings should be studied further to find an optimum method.
- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoNever mind, your statement makes sense - yeah that’s a 16 hr fasting window.
- ObsoleteNerd 8y agoYup exactly that. I now so just one big meal a day, and the occasional snack, and have settled into a pretty stable groove.
- arwhatever 8y agoAgreed. When away from work,I eat because I'm hungry. When at work,I eat because it's noon.
