    You’re not “contradicting,” Thomas. You’re learning with humility. What’s even better is that you’re sharing your learning with us. Thank you 🙏

    the more i learned about nutrition, the more i came to the realization that grandma and granddad were not that wrong all along, driven by necessity and scarcity, but pretty damn good

    I&apos;m literally not hungry in the morning and haven&apos;t been in 10 or more years. I dont get hungry until 12pm-1pm. I would have to force myself to eat.

    Our ancestors worked outside, walked miles , didn’t eat processed food , didn’t drink out of plastic bottles…. They ate Whole Foods and ate out of necessity! Didn’t have all the technology and resources we have today , they had higher testosterone , lower body fat and women had more children.

    I honestly started doing this naturally. Some days I fast, some days I don’t. I was doing it by feel vs regimented science. Which both make sense. Your body will let you know what you need.

    This is a very interesting video because I remember when you first started talking about the 16 8 <br>I remember trying it daily and actually finding that I preferred doing exactly what you&apos;re talking about in this video, where I fasted longer periods of time for a couple of days. And then had breakfast on other days. And I found that I was more satiated, I actually found the days easier to go throughout, especially during the course of multiple months. The most interesting part was I had already observed before you brought the science in, that I had less stress overall over the course of about 3 to 6 months, when I really reflected on it. <br>Thanks for another awesome video.

    I have practiced the traditional approach for over a decade. 16:8-18:6 and even the omad. Now im consuming in a window of 7am to 11am. This is mindblowing how much better I feel. Sleep is better than I have had in years. Another change and this point was made in the video. Sunday is a feast day. No restrictions. Thats also a surprising benefit. Excellent video

    I&apos;m 53 and I&apos;ve eaten one meal a day (usually around 5pm to 6pm) for about 4 years now due to inflammation. I&apos;m rarely hungry early. &nbsp;I will admit that on the rare occasions that I may get a little hungry around 2 or 3pm in the afternoon that I will eat an egg or something light. This works for me.

    I do ~<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF7O2Rr-Fk&amp;t=496">8:16</a> every day BUT I get up at 5:00am every day, eat early at 6:00am, eat last meal at noon to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF7O2Rr-Fk&amp;t=60">1:00</a>. I sleep well and the long break before sleep at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpF7O2Rr-Fk&amp;t=480">8:00</a> to 8:30pm helps prevent reflux. I realize that not the sleep/eat/awake cycle of most people but that coincides with my work schedule.

    I&apos;m so pleased this video has popped up. I&apos;ve been 16/8 fasting for many years now and more recently I have started to put on body fat and also feel constantly tired. Even Increasing my calories within the 8 hours hasn&apos;t helped. So now I am ready to try something new, and boom this shows up in my algorithm. I shall be moving over to this protocol to see if it helps. Thanks for the great content 🙏
