Do you follow intermittent fasting or do you fast for longer times? I find if I fast for a longer period my focus decreases.

Is there some secret of intermittent fasting I haven't understand yet? According to the guidelines I've been doing that naturally for the last 10 years probably, eat once at 2pm and once at 6pm that's it every day But I don't feel better than the days I eat whenever I want and how much I want, apart of feeling less hungry in the morning

  Here's something from my experience, it's not based on any research or someone's book, it's literally entirely subjective so who knows if it's even helpful: for me, intermittent fasting had effect when it was entirely irregular. If my body didn't get a chance to notice the pattern, that's what made it behave different. Same goes for exercise, if I do regularly one type of exercise - body quickly gets used to it and it's harder to achieve gains by doing the same movement. What I do is irregular fasting. Sometimes I won't eat for 30 hours. Sometimes I'll eat 6x a day. Sometimes it'll be eating at 11:00 and next meal is 12 hours after. These are not guidelines, just examples of irregular intervals. I noticed results, it could have been placebo, who knows, I have no means to measure except subjective feeling. If you're capable of enduring hunger, you could try it. It might be dangerous so don't listen to random advice from a nobody online :) anyone reading this and trying what I wrote out: it's not my fault if something happens to you, I'm not a medical doctor.

  It’s great if this is your baseline! It certainly isn’t for most people so they’ll likely feel a significant difference when changing up their timings, as I did.

Intermittent (between 16/8 and 20/4), with 36 hour fasts if I feel the need; get a nice buzz at the end. I try not to do anything too demanding during longer fasts.
