| There is a lot more on the internet about intermittent fasting than when I began practicing in 2012.

It's starting to be noticed by reputable institutions, such as [[https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/intermittent-fasting-surprising-update-2018062914156|Harvard]]. Not that reputable, but this article by [[http://www.healthline.com/nutrition/10-health-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting |Healthline]] covers many health benefits with citations to valid research. | There is a lot more on the internet about intermittent fasting than when I began practicing in 2012.

| - | My schedule for intermittent fasting had varied quite a bit. I focused more on not eating for 16 hours than the 8 hour window. I would go to bed anywhere from 10pm to 3am, which is not great for the circadian rhythm. More about circadian rhythms [[health:circadian-rhythm |here]].

| I don't like eating when I wake, and there are health benefits to working out in a fasted state, which means morning workouts make the most sense for me. However, morning is when I like to be on the computer, because my mind works but I'm still groggy from sleep. It seems unnatural to not eat in the evenings, as it's been so much of my practice to relax and reward myself in the evening, where during the day I'm too busy to eat. Evening dinner parties is the norm, right? It's ironic that my mother can't eat anytime before bed because of heartburn. Update: It was actually easy to break this habit. Even if I feel hungry, I find that sleep takes over rather easily, especially when taking melatonin, magnesium, and gaba a half hour before bed. | I don't like eating when I wake, and there are health benefits to working out in a fasted state, which means morning workouts make the most sense for me.

| - | I have gravitated to a preference of eating between 12pm and 6pm. A start between 12pm and 2pm, depending on if I'm still busy at noon. My norm is to sleep between 10pm and 1am, and I actually hold off on taking the bedtime supplements until I want to sleep soon. | + | I have gravitated to a preference of eating between 12pm and 6pm.
