I'm about 2 weeks into an experiment with time-limited eating on a daily basis. I try to only consume anything with calories in a 7-8 hour window starting at lunchtime.
I decided to try this because my weight was creeping up despite my controlled diet and daily exercise.
So far the jury is out regarding weight loss, because I also upped my exercise regimen at the same time.
But I've been pleasantly surprised to find that I'm getting much better sleep, and for the first time in years I'm waking up on my own, usually a little before my alarm is set to go off.
The one downside is that starting a few days ago, I've found myself extra hungry in my non-eating hours. I hope this is temporary. It's not a risk to me keeping the regimen, but it's unpleasant and distracting.
