I try and avoid eating until 5pm or so; always funny to see people concerned about "missing breakfast" as if you have to eat food to have immediate energy.
I imagine some wake up at 3am to eat a spoonful of sugar to make sure they don't starve to death in their sleep.
I struggle with intermittent fasting but I'm getting better. For me I try to eat only between noon and 6pm. We typically have late dinners otherwise I'd do 4pm as a stop time.
The morning is easier because I'm either too busy or I can have a black coffee to curb the hunger, but it's a hard shift when working from home.
The cheats and the failure days are becoming less and less.
Are you low carb/high fat as well? If not it makes it a lot easier in my opinion. I did intermittent fasting for most of the 2010s but fell off the wagon for a couple years when I was eating too many carbs and repeatedly failed at getting it going again until I realized I needed to cut my carbs and then it was no problem.
Of course even without changing macros IF is a really good change and sticking with it will make it easier as you go, but LCHF and IF go together really well.
I am trying to recude carbs that's for sure, but I find the timing difficult. With trying to gain muscle I need to eat carbs bit to fascillitate muscle growth. So quick oats with a teaspoon of real maple syrup or honey, some fresh fruits like an apple, orange, banana etc. Rice with veg and a meat for dinner.
My "snack" is usually something like cottage cheese, sliced, salami and or some pickles.
I'm getting there, but it's tough to work full time, raise kids, workout AND maintain hobbies and necessary things like home repair, auto repair, etc. Such is life. But every time I do this and get back on track I get better and better. I think as long as I trend towards progress, then I'm doing fine.
If nothing else at least she was a diverse employee at Google.
Man, can she eat a lot and stay slim.
