Intermittent fasting

I started with IF in the 90s when the book The Warrior Diet came out and I realized that I had eaten this way as a kid and through high school just naturally because eating makes me tired/low energy. I never ate breakfast. Actually food before noon makes me feel sick to think about it.
I've found that not eating during the day gives me more energy when I'm working and running around. Then at night when it's time to start slowing down and relaxing eating and feeling tired(relaxed) is a good thing. Plus, it seems easier to stay within my allotted calories when they are spaced over a shorter time period. I basically do 16/8 and my eating window runs from around 2 to 10 pm and I'm in bed by midnight.
I'm much too busy all day to graze.0
