On: Timeframe of 8-hour restricted eating irrelevant to weight loss

I mostly have breakfast at about 7am. So no more food after 3pm? Sounds hard to sustain in a normal kind of life.

I find if i eat an early breakfast, it is indeed hard to not eat after the 8 hours. I find the opposite to be quite easy though. Just skip breakfast and don’t eat until around 1. I get to look forward to food later while actually being hungry.

You're not forced to have breakfast at 7am.

If you're healthy, keep doing what you're doing.

If (like most people) you are overweight and unhealthy, what are you going to change?

I find it easier to skip breakfast and start eating a late lunch. That way I can enjoy a normal dinner with the family.

What has worked for me is to delay my meals until noon or even later. Eat protein and veggies for lunch.

black coffee for breakfast

there are several signs that coffee on an empty stomach can raise blood sugar and insulin levels.

It may not be a great idea for certain groups of people.
