S-IF:4/20

Hey guys, I've developed a new Way of Eating that I'm calling Staggered-Intermittent Fasting 4/20.

How it works: You only eat for 4 hours out of the day. But these don't have to be consecutive (hence the staggered part). The way I'm doing it, I give myself an hour in the morning, then an hour mid-day, then an hour in the early evening. The fourth hour is a 'floater'. You might even break it up into smaller increments and stagger it throughout your day. Alternatively, you could forego the 4th hour, which would be S-IF:4/20-1.

The problem I have with the IF programs with the huge eating windows is I get so much intestinal infetterence. S-IF:4/20 solves that problem.

I'm working on a cookbook right now based around the idea of S-IF:4/20 (and a companion for S-IF:4/20-1). It will be full of recipes perfect for discrete eating windows spread evenly through the day.

    Not sure if serious...

    If so, good luck with your "cookbook."

    Ha, cute! You came up with a "name" for eating 3-4 meals a day and not snacking. Clever.

    Shhhhh ... (Now that it has a name, I can sell it for real money.)

    :smile: The trend is really hitting it's stride right about now, so I say go for it. Just get a friend to pass a 3 month online nutrition program and they can give you a testimonial blurb for your book.

    I kind of eat right now in 6 half-hour blocks, so I don't think 6(0.5)/48 is catchy enough. But I could say I do S-IF anyway, which makes your plan flexible. It would also allow me to ride on your coattails with a newer, fresher S-IF plan once the trend starts fading out.

    If you are willing to pose at a picnic table in front of a forest with a fruit bowl and a glass jug of milk, I would consider being your agent.
