The thing I learned from time-restricted IF --- which I've been doing pretty painlessly for ~2 years now --- is that I generally won't feel hungry until I eat for the first time every day. I started by skipping breakfast and waiting until 2PM for lunch, but over the last 6 months I've pushed 2PM forward to 6PM and eat just one meal a day.

I have friends who have noticed the same thing, and others who haven't. I'm sure it depends on your metabolism. For anyone not training who hasn't tried time-restriction, it's worth it: if your metabolism works like mine, not having to think at all about food except for ~4 hours of the day is super convenient.

Interesting. Much earlier (teens), I had read a book - I think it was a story about Robin Hood - in which they said that he and his men ate only once or twice a day. I remember wondering at the time how it was possible, how they did not feel hungry, more so since they had active physical lives.
