It doesn’t need to be so drastic. You fast every day when you sleep. Tag on a few hours to that. Eat dinner, then don’t eat before bed, then that can give you a good 12 hours. Or do as I do, have your late night snack still. But eat breakfast at 12.
If you are healthy and slim, it’s still very good for you to give your digestion 12-14 hrs off. If you have weight to lose, it’s amazing.
That’s different.
Congratulations on the success of your approach.
It’s also good for the immune system.
