I've fasted from ~8P to ~3P every day for coming up on 2 years and apart from making me more mindful of what I eat and drastically reducing my appetite I've experienced basically no other health benefits. IF is increasingly well studied and it is not especially amazing. (I like it a lot. Just saying.)

Is that time a typo? Are you saying that there is only a 5 hour block of the day when you eat? (From 3pm to 8pm.)

I eat in an 8 hour block. It started years ago when I wanted to hit "race weight". I stopped eating anything after 8PM (usually 7PM) so I wouldn't go to bed with food on my stomach. I slept better, and I am active after eating (walk with the family around the neighborhood), which reduces storage of calories. I was already skipping breakfast most days due to convenience.

In the peak of my "strenuous exercise" and "age" graph, I was taking about 12 advil a day, with Zantac. Eventually that, combined with a bit too much drinking (0-3 drinks a day), culminated in a messed up stomach. But I easily can go 2-4 advil a day without a problem. I avoid it, these days, and typically take 1 or 2 every day or two. In the military, "Vitamin M" (800mg of motrin/ibuprofen, about 4 advil) used to be…

That's a bit scary. Chronic use of NSAIDs has been associated with kidney cancer, and if that doesn't scare you, erectile dysfunction may, if you're a man. I'd go with Tylenol instead (carefully), although that has pretty serious liver risks too.

I've stopped taking either unless I have a strong reason. No more chronic use at all - yoga does more for pain relief long term, and I stopped playing soccer, and limit myself to lower impact sports. I'm sore enough after exercising without some 20 year asshole laying me out on the field ;)
