I have a lot of nagging aches and some minor chronic health issues. Is there research on any effects there? Because as it is, I have trouble eating enough to power my moderately active lifestyle.
Has anybody here experienced more impulsive behaviour as a result of intermittent fasting? More internal anger, being rude or impatient with your peers or children much more often, etc. I was on IF for 2-3 years, and while I gained a lot from the mental clarity, I also admit turning into an uneasy person within. A quick google provided a 2020 paper that tackles this same question: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art…
Intermittent fasting works because you end up eating less calories. On the other hand, shifting your eating to earlier in the day while eating the same amount of calories leads to weight loss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQThN6e4PD4 I don't have a reference to it handy, but I know Rhonda Patrick talk about this: it takes a minimum of three days fasting in humans to reproduce the effects seen in one day fasting in…
These threads probably attract mostly people who are dieting or looking to diet, so maybe it’s helpful to have an observation from someone who has never been overweight: I notice overweight people like low-to-no fiber foods and are unaware that they are only eating a few grams of vegetables per day. Maybe it is a good idea to make sure that every meal you have contains a real amount of it, so if you have 3 meals per…
I’ve been doing intermittent fasting (time restricted feeding) with 16:8 (I do at least 16 hours fasting and at most 8 hours feeding window everyday) for several years. It’s more convenient (as with others, I find skipping breakfast easy) and makes night times easier in a few ways (fall asleep fast, have a good sleep, etc.). Social outings in the evening could be an issue since I stop eating by around 6, but it’s not…
Question for anyone who might know: what are the benefits of intermittent fasting for those of us who are really thin, and having trouble keeping on weight with an already well-balanced diet? I have a lot of nagging aches and some minor chronic health issues. Is there research on any effects there? Because as it is, I have trouble eating enough to power my moderately active lifestyle.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
My sense is that conventional dietary wisdom comes from an agricultural heritage — where we spent all damn day working the fields. Without that intensive labor, three meals seems to make less sense.
Indeed. I often skip breakfast without issues, but I once attempted to do this on a cycling holiday where my morning consisted of cycling at a moderate pace for several hours and I ended up collapsing asleep at the side of the road for about half an hour, then continued very slowly until I could find some food. What you're doing can have a big impact on how much food you need.
