Some biomarkers will improve after doing this one day! Listen to the Ruth Patterson interview on the link I provided for more info.

Helpinghands wrote:I never said it was't any good. I was simply stating that trying to do too much at one time would distract folks from their primary goal of eating McDougall. Change too much too soon and people stop everything thinking it's too much effort to be healthy. Better to stay with the McDougall program especially in the first few years and not start throwing in a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with the food.

Yes, TRF = Time Restricted Feeding which is a form of intermittent fasting just as you practice. It seems like the longer "break" of a "fast", the better off you are when "breakfast" time arrives. Better sleep and energy happens (and other biomarker stuff).....
This has been shown to be true with mice and more and more evidence is accumulating for humans.

I usually eat 3 or 4 decent sized meals a day (plus some snacking) just to meet my daily energy needs. My bmi is already around 20, so I'm not looking to lose any weight.
How do you space your meals out? Are you doing 2 or 3 meals? Do you snack/graze in-between?

I estimate that I eat 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day. Why do you ask? I am eating 3 (4 hours apart) meals with some snacks too. Again, why do you ask? My BMI is 22.5 and my goal is to get it down to 22.0 (and then reevaluate if I want to get it lower).
