RE: Newly Researched Benefits of INTERMITTENT FASTING

To be honest I have doubts about tests with mice. Their digestion and gens are different from ours but it makes since since option one is not different from how we used to eat. How we ate as a kid. Snacking and meals inbetween the meals day and night was not common as I was a child.
Dinner you had at noon so plenty of time to digest. Next we had it at 6 pm and now 8-9 is "normal" too.
We still have our hot meal as soon as the children are back from school (always before 4:30 pm).
We already eat within a certain time so the first option plus low carb. I cannot say I sleep better or my digestion improved but between 5-7:30 pm is my bedtime. I wake up at 4 am or earlier.
I resteem. I believe @carolkean is doing the first given option too (16 hours no food works for her).
Happy day. 💕

Good memory, kittywu! I have the best luck with 16-hour daily fasting, eating only during an 8-hour window, but I tend to go with 14 or 15 hours due to lack of will power. I do feel better. Fewer headaches. Also recommended: Deep Breathing. A physical therapist recommended it; I scoffed, but tried it, and am amazed that I almost never yawn anymore (I used to yawn chronically). And I do feel better.

@carolkean I believe I can make the 16 hours easily on most days some exceptions... but noticed I still need to watch my carbohydrates and calories.
The deep breathing I do to lower my pulse rate..It helps for some reason even if I still feel "stressed".
Great you feel better..I need to catch more sleep. I notice I am longer awake lately and only have 4 hours sleep.
Cutting back on carbs, calorie counting, deep breathing, and .... SLEEP!!!
Yes. Two nights in a row I've been up late with our daughter visiting for the weekend. Eating late at night with her, too. Now I've regained FOUR pounds of the 15 I had lost. Demoralizing, but not defeating: I will lose them again, and I'll lose the final ten that have been so slow to go.
I hope you get more sleep! It really is phenomenal to read about the harm to our health that too little sleep will cause.
I just had a look at my results. I lost nothing after a week and gained 4 pounds or more. I guess as long as we stay focussed we lose them again. A few times I had a late dinner too. It's better for me to stick to my scheduled life. 💕
