    A simple start for that is skipping either breakfast or dinner if stricter rules would be hard to follow.

    If you eat lunch at noon, dinner at 8pm, and you don’t eat outside the afternoon, that’s immediately a 16-8 IF.

    But a pound a day seems like a quite drastic target nevertheless. Smaller changes are way more sustainable long-term

      I do breakfast at 7, small snack of nuts at 10, lunch at 12:30, small snack at 2, dinner at 6, and absolutely nothing after dinner.

      Meal volumes get adjusted depending on what I’m trying to do with my weight.

      That 7-7 fast gives my body time to properly digest food and means my cholesterol spikes properly when I do eat food. This means fewer cravings, so the entire process becomes easier.
