I'm confused. Are you only eating between 12 and 8PM? You're not eating breakfast and you're not snacking after 8 when you can eat. Which 8 hours did you choose to actually eat?

1.Daily Intermittent Fasting: a 16/8, as it is informally known, where you condense your eating into a period of eight hours each day. This is my preferred method, personally speaking, and often translates to one meal around noonish and another six or seven hours later. I don’t eat outside the window (normally!), and I pass the morning hours with delicious, appetite-suppressing caffeine. [/quote]

Yes, I see where my original wording would have been confusing.  I eat only between about noon and 8pm.

I am doing this partly as a means of dieting, since I picked up a few pounds in December, but also for health.  I know people say this about every crackpot diet trend, but there is good science behind intermittent fasting both as a way to burn fat and for overall health and longevity.

And of course this is in addition to (not instead of) eating a healthy and well balanced diet.  Some of us need a little extra something to help keep us from overeating.[/quote]
