I don’t meant for weight loss, I mean health benefits as in autophagy, clearing out toxins, giving your organs a break type stuff

    That’s awesome that it’s worked for your gastro issues, I would have thought trying to eat all your food at once would aggravate reflux. The body is a wild thing.

    How many calories do you think you usually get in during your feasting window?

      I have found that some specific foods still give me a little heartburn, which I avoid. But yeah, I still don’t understand it. Especially the swallowing issues, but apparently not eating lets my body reset or something.

      When I first started the diet it was 800-1500 calories per day, but now I snack while I’m cooking dinner, have double or triple portions, and have dessert right before the cutoff at 8:00. So probably about 2500.

      There are still days where I only get 800-1000 calories, like if we’re at someone else’s house for dinner. After 8:00 my body just seems to accept its fate, so I’m not scrounging for food or hangry anymore.
