Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?
I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach.
I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating.
How do you eat all day, you follow a system?
Intermittent Fasting is what worked for me. I’ve been on 16:8 for 3 months now and lost almost 10 lbs so far. I like it because it’s so easy. Just don’t eat for 16 hours. No need to avoid any particular food/ingredients and no need to count calories (relatively compared to other diets). I didn’t have to change what or how I eat other than the time I stop and start eating.
Been doing this as well. Not for weights reasons. But man do I feel the difference in focus and general well being. Also tried a 3 day water fast. A bit hard but also felt really good during the second day.
Yep, that's exactly what I do. Just started, so not sure if it will work. I plan to throw in a bit of exercise, too. I've been very sedentary since covid.
You're right and it's still hard no matter what, but remember that most of that time you're going to be sleeping.
If you get 8 hrs of sleep going to bed at 10pm and waking at 6 am, you could split the fast evenly in the morning and night (eat your first meal at 10 am and you'd stop eating at 6 pm) or you could stick it in the morning or evening (last meal at 2 pm, OR first meal at 2 pm) or some combo in between.
It's even easier if you're a lazy person like me who sleeps ~10 hrs a day!
Still, absolutely no judgment if it still sounds hard or impossible. Everyone's eating styles are different :-)
