Black coffee and water from 5 am to 6 pm, eat from 6-9 pm works for me.
Meals definitely taste better after that window :)
I find I sometimes have like two dinners at 6 and 8 which is interesting…

Today, I do a heart healthy diet, and try to fast from 8PM-12PM (eat between 12PM-8PM). This helps me not eat/snack unhealthily in a condensed period of time.
And high cholesterol in and off itself is not problematic, if your other stats are in line. E.g. high cholesterol can be a pointer to other problems, but it itself is not considered dangerous.
So did a lot of other people, some of whom were in good shape went on keto, and needed a bypass after not too long.
Total cholesterol isn't necessarily that predictive but non-LDL cholesterol/APOB are strong predictors of CVD
That said, cholesterol is essential for the production of bile which breaks down foods. Late night foods probably equates to excess cholesterol released to break down said foods and higher cholesterol levels.
We probably want to have periods of fasting in order to not produce excess cholesterol.
So maybe the person fasting had higher cholesterol levels due to his body needing more bile immediately to breakdown a larger amount of food at once? I am very much not a doctor or at all educated in these topics.
Not that you're wrong having it, just something to realize. Will almost certainly have a negligible or even positive effect on weight loss.
1 large boiled egg is 80 Calories. So like eat 5 or 6 eggs and you haven’t broken your fast??
I had similar habits, was relatively healthy, and rarely if ever suffered from heart burn. But about a year ago, seemingly overnight, I came down with severe acid reflux. I am still managing symptoms to this day.
Not saying it will happen to you, but just raising awareness that human health is a fickle thing and it can take a turn for the worse quickly, often with little to no warning.
On the plus side, I like to try different dishes, as I’m a very curious eater, and now I don’t have to feel guilty when I do.
Thanks.
Not sure if this is why but I am also one of those people that can eat super acidic foods all day no problem - I can drink black coffee and follow that up with a bunch of citrus and feel great.
