Current Events > 'Eating window' diet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Heard something about a decent way to supplement exercise/weight loss is to eat within certain windows, as opposed to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I heard between 11AM and 8PM is good.

Thoughts?

I don't believe that glass has any nutritional value.

I heard that jalousies taste awful

No

Is it really better to do this and wind up eating more before bed? That seems to have bad effects when I do it.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, that it makes more sense not to eat before nighttime, when you're generally less active.

what time do you go to bed?
I got to bed around 11 PM. 4 hours before I go to sleep is fine.

I have always eaten a regular breakfast, lunch, dinner schedule and had no problem dropping 30 pounds in about 4.5 to 5 months and keeping it off.

It absolutely works for losing weight. But it works because youre calorie restricting more so than some magic that is happening while fasting.

I eat one meal a day. Find your maintenance level and just eat less than that. I find it easier to manage it during one large satisfying meal. My maintenance is ~2,000 calories (at 218lbs). I try not to get over 1,500 per day/meal. Its pretty easy to stay under and still gorge. For example my go to meal at Hardees is a double cheese burger, a chicken sandwich, fries, lemonade, and a cookie. That meal is about 1,320 calories. Its plenty to fill me up and I have calories to spare. I can eat three McRibs which is right at 1,500 calories, and still lose weight.

The first three days are by far the hardest. Its going to be the three most miserable days of your life. But, once you get past those three it gets easier. And once you get past two weeks its nothing at all.

Youre only hungry during the day because you trained your body to be hungry during the day. It expects food at certain times. When you stop eating during those times your body adapts and learns that it gets food at the end of the day instead of throughout.

Are you getting proper nutrition? I hope you aren't just having huge 1500 calorie meal fried gut bombs the entire time.

one thing ive noticed with intermittent fasting is if I eat healthy, I have awesome poops. But if I start eating a lot of junk I get really loose slurry like poops.

I hardly ever even make it to 1,500. I do eat veggies too on occasion. But, I eat garbage most of the time.

It doesn't matter what time you eat your meals at that's a common diet myth.

And holy shit don't listen to this guy

Terry Crews, Beyonc, and Hugh Jackman do intermittent fasting. Hershel Walker has been eating one meal a day for 20 years.

When you get used to fasting, its easy.

Thats where you go to buffets and just lick the condensation off of the glass, right?

My diet lets me eat anything I want for one minute a day.

That's nice that you can get used to it but avoiding a stupid meme diet is even better.
