When I first started IF 11pm at night to about 3-4pm the next afternoon was my window. But now I've adapted and I pretty much just eat once at 8pm at night now. I have a couple snacks before I go to bed too. I'm not hungry all day my energy is great for lifting and cardio. Never thought it could be so easy to be lean. Wish I did this my whole life
It's manageable. You can sneak in snacks and a few small meals once you dial it in.
I still do it today, just not so hardcore.
I basically eat 3 meals from 10am - 8pm. ~1800 cals.
No direct carbs after 5pm. Just meat and veggies.
Sometimes i snack on popcorn and nuts late in the evening.
My health is perfect, i feel great and i'm still strong as can be.
Sometimes i eat whatever i want when i'm out of town, then just get back on my program when i'm home.
On Saturday i went out with my GF, pigged out on burgers, fries and beers. I swelled up nicely. Then on Sunday lots of tacos, beans and burritos. Starting Monday i'm back on track, no damage done.
Late on Sunday my GF commented that i looked different, i was full and vascular. She knows about my diet and likes it. I typically can look a little flat.
It's easy to manage.
