Strategies like delaying breakfast or not eating after 7 p.m. have proven to be effective ways to limit time spent eating, reduce calorie consumption and, ultimately, lose weight. Whichever schedule you land on, the overall period of time to restrict eating is about 12 to 16 hours per day — which is why this plan is often referred to as intermittent fasting. It might sound hard to go that long without eating, but most of the time is spent sleeping.
Though it sounds like a new fad diet that everybody’s doing, this pattern of mindful eating has been around a long time. Studies have shown that restricting eating by time, as long as your diet remains healthy, can be beneficial for weight loss and overall health, according to nutritionist Madelyn Fernstrom, who says intermittent fasting might be better referred to as “intermittent eating.” The goal is to become more mindful about eating and develop a good relationship with food.

Finding time to work out can be a challenge. The classic question is whether it’s better to be an early riser and get your body moving before your day or whether it makes more sense to wind down at night with some moves. According to a new study, people who consume and burn the same amount of calories have similar weight loss at any time of day – but when it comes to burning fat, the research says morning is a clear winner.
Not eating overnight, then working out on an empty stomach the next morning showed the most fat-burning results for the study participants. They also showed better control in their blood sugar levels. “We found that the muscles adapted more to exercise and people’s overall response to insulin was improved," one researcher said.

| Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces. |
