Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet? (lemmy.world)

I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?

    Been doing this as well. Not for weights reasons. But man do I feel the difference in focus and general well being. Also tried a 3 day water fast. A bit hard but also felt really good during the second day.

    16/8? That's basically just skipping breakfast and no snacking after dinner.

    You're right and it's still hard no matter what, but remember that most of that time you're going to be sleeping.

    If you get 8 hrs of sleep going to bed at 10pm and waking at 6 am, you could split the fast evenly in the morning and night (eat your first meal at 10 am and you'd stop eating at 6 pm) or you could stick it in the morning or evening (last meal at 2 pm, OR first meal at 2 pm) or some combo in between.

    It's even easier if you're a lazy person like me who sleeps ~10 hrs a day!

    Still, absolutely no judgment if it still sounds hard or impossible. Everyone's eating styles are different :-)
