I fast pretty easily from 6pm to noon the next day. So I would be getting an awesome 18 hour fast daily however I have coffee with milk at 8am. Am I cancelling out those last 4 hours? I hate black coffee so I’m not sure what I could do.

Switch when you eat. So 8am to 2pm or 4pm eating time.
I don’t feel like eating after dinner and I don’t feel hungry in the morning.
You’d think there would be something calorie free to make coffee taste good.

For anyone wondering: > Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is a process that describes the generation of new functional DGCs from adult neural stem cells through the amplification of intermediate progenitors and neuroblasts, as well as the integration of these new neurons into the existing neural circuits.

That’s what I did for a long time. But somehow it didn’t feel right. I then switched to 4pm to 8am. Works way better for me now
It’s hard with a family though if they’re on different schedules.

Seen it happen, it's real not pretty.
I often read these threads about fasting/intermittent fasting on HN and see a lot of nitpicking about flaws in the study.
Given that almost all studies tend to fall between "no effect" or "clear positive effect" of fasting on health, do we have enough evidence to say "fasting is good for your health?" I still believe there's value in further research to nail down exactly how and how much, but curious if we can make the overall statement confidently.

There are lots of definitions of fasting and it’s not perfectly understood which consequences line up with which behaviors.
It’s pretty clear things are different once you break down the different ideas of “fast” and build it back up. In a dry fast, nothing enters your body except air. Now switch to a water fast and your stomach and kidneys are going to start doing something with that water. Have some coffee and now your liver is processing that caffeine and other chemicals. Add some calories (milk) and more organs are doing more. And then once you get past 500 calories in a day, you’re not really fasting by just about any definition.
So your coffee is doing something, the milk is doing something, but I don’t think it’s perfectly clear what happens at each threshold.
