Intermittent fasting is when you fast intermittently

• iso1631 3y ago
  Well if going 10 hours (say in Scotland in winter) without food is "fasting", I do that pretty much every day, I rarely eat or drink between 2200 and 0900, and rarely eat between 2000 and about 1230 Not convinced that not drinking water during the day is a good idea, especially in hot countries

    You're right, most people do... > Breakfast is the first meal of the day usually eaten in the morning. The word in English refers to breaking the fasting period of the previous night.

      To be honest, "breakfast" was more probably originally meant as "breaking the discipline" (see form "fasten"), and only then translated to the action without general involvement of discipline.

        Which means they're participating in a comparatively longer fast

    I roomed with two Saudis in college. They just become nocturnal and sleep all day.

      Sounds like the Eruv lines some Jewish communities put up to get away with "breaking the rules", surely it somewhat misses the point
