I have been doing IF for a month or two now. Hard to really quantify it's effects since I've been eating much better and going to the gym during that same time period. Either way I think it's useful if only as a way to make eating at a calorie deficit easier. My biggest gripe is that it's basically impossible to have a social nightlife on the weekends if you can't eat or drink after 8pm

- ccmonnett 8y agoIf time-restricted eating is having that big of an impact on your life, adapt to it. Eat lunch later on the following days after going out, or - and stop me if this is crazy - don't be so strict about it if your friends want to meet up. I am a time-restricted eater. I use Zero to track my eating windows and make sure I'm not trending in the wrong direction, and that gives me the peace of mind to let up every once in a while. Just this morning I broke my fast early because I didn't eat enough last night and I was pretty zonked before my workout (beyond the point I thought would be productive). I ate a few dates, recorded it in Zero, and will live to fast another day.
