I've heard the "early" window is better than late. For me, this is very difficult because I want to eat dinner with my family (who all eat breakfast at different times). I still seem to have reasonable success with a 17/7 window that's roughly noon/1p to 7/8p.
Does anyone else have experience with the differences between early and late windows? Or ways to make early windows feasible with a family?
- Mikeb85 4y agoI wouldn't trust it. Tons of Europeans eat early and very late and are perfectly healthy.
- copperx 4y agoVery late as in after midnight?
- Mikeb85 4y agoNo but like 9-10pm for dinner which is significantly later than North Americans typically eat and definitely far beyond a 10 hour window for all meals.
- stubish 4y agoUntil studies are reproduced in places like Spain, we won't know if they could be even healthier. And if studies cannot be replicated, that is interesting too as it could help narrow down why intermittent fasting approaches show benefits in other populations.
- pbronez 4y agoI’m in the same position. Need to eat dinner in the evenings for family reasons. Social elements of food are significant.
- copperx 4y ago> Social elements of food are significant. But easily changeable. Nothing stops you from sitting at the table and having a good conversation, all while eating an apple or two and a glass of water.
- gnicholas 4y agoEating an apple would ruin a fast, and there’s also a risk of giving your kids eating issues because they don’t realize that your nutritional needs are different from theirs.
- astura 4y agoNobody wants to eat a meal prepared hours ago and reheated. Beyond that, most people feel really uncomfortable being watched by a non-eater while they are eating; if you eat at a different time than your family at least let them eat in peace.
