Ha! Yeah, in summary form: * Intermittent fasting is based on the idea that our european ancestors only had access to large quantities of food for about 2 months during the summer. 200 000 years ago, they were hunting and fishing for the other 10 months and eating 3 meals a day was not a thing. They ate once a day if that, maybe once every other day or whatever. Anyone working a modern office life does not expend anything near the calories that requires 3 meals a day either. * Apparently a full fast is really good for health in all manner of speaking beacuse our ancestors often starved for long perious of time. We are actually designed to starve. * I take a bunch of vitamins daily, not because of the fast but because I keep on reading we are deficient at minimum of Vitamin D. * I make a huge pot of tea + sweeten it with a zero calorie sweetener based on monkfruit (I use the Lakanto brand: https://www.lakanto.com/collections/shop-products/products/lakanto-golden-sugar-free-sweetener). * I mostly eat keto which is just meat + green veg. I cut out starches almost totally but occasionally add some rice or use bread in a sandwich. * I eat once a day at 6pm. It's actually really hard to get everything right. It really turns out that no matter how hard I try I cannot control what I eat or how much. Instead, by cutting out sugars and starches (replacing sugar drink with tea + monkfruit zero cal sweetener) my insulin spikes basically stopped which helped a huge amount. Then, I had to learn to cook NORMAL food using only keto (after you cut our sugars and starches, you only have meat + green veg left anyway, so it's keto by default) and it turns out that was the final piece that we necessary because it is SUPER IMPORTANT to always be eating interesting and satisfying things that match your bodies cravings.
