I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?

      16/8? That’s basically just skipping breakfast and no snacking after dinner.

        Yep, that’s exactly what I do. Just started, so not sure if it will work. I plan to throw in a bit of exercise, too. I’ve been very sedentary since covid.

          I hear ya. I worked myself up to 18/6. Lost some weight, but I still don’t move enough.

      You’re right and it’s still hard no matter what, but remember that most of that time you’re going to be sleeping.

      If you get 8 hrs of sleep going to bed at 10pm and waking at 6 am, you could split the fast evenly in the morning and night (eat your first meal at 10 am and you’d stop eating at 6 pm) or you could stick it in the morning or evening (last meal at 2 pm, OR first meal at 2 pm) or some combo in between.

      It’s even easier if you’re a lazy person like me who sleeps ~10 hrs a day!

      Still, absolutely no judgment if it still sounds hard or impossible. Everyone’s eating styles are different :-)
