When to fast

[mtbc]

Since switching my diet's daily fasting from mornings to evenings, I find that one unanticipated benefit is that it encourages me to drag myself out of bed: if I like, the first thing I can do today is to finally eat something again!

That's funny. I have a feeling I would be more likely to get up quickly if it was the end of a fast!

What's the rule? No food after dusk?

I've been approximately following the 16:8 intermittent fasting plan. In Scotland I would eat from around 16h to 24h. These days I eat from 7h to 15h or so but I am a little slacker sometimes, e.g., a couple of evenings ago, I allowed myself a can of Tecate.

… and today turned out to be an exception. Meetings at 10h15, 12h30, 14h, 15h simply left no good block of time for lunch, though I nearly got there, now just an apple and banana outstanding.
