    Without any more information, assuming you don't work nights or an alternate schedule, it looks like you're fasting all night and then most of the day. Kind of makes you more like OMAD? Or, just consuming all of your daily calories between 3:00 pm and bedtime.

    I do IF naturally, just because I'm not a breakfast person. I also can't sleep on a full stomach, so I stop eating at 7:00 pm and then don't eat until noon or so the following day. We're all different, so we just need to find what works for us!

    I agree. To me, it is more of a matter of tuning into your body and actually learning your hunger cues. There are many situations I see in daily life where food is provided at an event (work meeting, baby or bridal shower, etc.) and most people eat simply because the food is there. That leads to a lot of unecessary weight gain. Stopping to ask ourselves 1) am I really hungry? and 2) does the food provided fit with my personal dietary and nutrition needs?

    Sure, have cake and cookies and what not. I'm not saying not to. Simply THINK before you eat, much like thinking before we speak.
