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'm literally not hungry in the morning and haven'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'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'm 53 and I've eaten one meal a day (usually around 5pm to 6pm) for about 4 years now due to inflammation. I'm rarely hungry early. 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&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&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&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'm so pleased this video has popped up. I'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'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 🙏
