I think the process might be helpful, but the way this one is presented is highly opinionated and is completely wrong for someone like me.
The first question alone is ridiculous. A normal, otherwise healthy person does not need to eat every 4 hours. Eating that often (especially e.g. if it's a high-sugar snack) will prevent your insulin levels from lowering, this is not good for your body. But this person claims that it's OK! It's fine, eat what you want! I think that is terrible advice, and the opposite of looking after yourself.
- drekk 4y agoYour brain needs glucose to function. It can only use ketones for so much of that. If you don't eat every 4 hours, you are probably depriving your brain of glucose. Might not matter if you have a white collar office job that mostly involves Slack and Jira. Slightly more relevant if you're working outdoors in hot, humid weather. A handful of raisins or cashews would suffice for these, and spacing out snacks in this way leads to less net caloric intake overall
