[EP118] - Are you hungry?
Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well!
So, I've been playing a lot with my diet and food intake... and I've come to realise that I actually don't need as much food as I thought I did. I cut out a whole meal for months, and I was completely fine.
This is a huge change from getting anxious all the time over being hungry. When you're going to the gym a lot to build muscle, you start to go a bit crazy trying to eat as much protein as you can... but I really question how much is actually needed. In the past I built a lot of muscle, I'm super athletically trim in comparison now, but I also always developed a bit of a tummy which was confusing... even when I was playing indoor soccer (most intense cardio ever!) 4 times a week.
I'm not so sure that feeling hungry actually means that you need food. I think it might be more of a pattern than anything. I would always feel hungry in the morning... until I was a week into 16:8 intermittent fasting... and then I wasn't hungry in the morning. Literally nothing else changed, I was eating the exact same foods... I just cut one meal.
Hunger is honestly starting to feel more like a mental exercise than anything... which I'm sure sounds crazy, but I really would suggest playing around with it. You might find that hangry becomes a thing of the past.
Thanks for watching!

Very interesting video!
English is not my native language, so I don't really know what 16: 8 means.
It's like the diet I know when you eat for 8 hours twice and 16 hours without eating anything. I try to stick to this regime.
But I'm not sure you mean the same thing.
Hi @behelen,
Yes! That's exactly what'm talking about. You fast for 16 hours and you have an 8 hour window for eating. Do you like that regime? Is it working for you?
Yes, I eat twice a day, and I have 8 hours window.
But it's not my best: I eat at 12 or 13 hours and at 18 or 19 hours. It is advisable to start and finish eating earlier.
There are scientific studies about it.
