Newbie (61) asks if anyone here microfasts and how they use MND with it Topic

After years of frustration with yoyo dieting and slow but steady weight gain, I was put on Depakote in 2011 and my weight skyrocketed. Within a matter of a few months, I had packed on an extra 30 lbs.! But diets had failed me, so I rebelled. I just eat when I'm hungry and don't eat when I'm not, try to eat mostly healthy food, and reserve any beating up of my self for the booze (which I'm not supposed to drink with my meds but do...).

When I read about microfasting, which essentially is eating whatever you're going to eat each day within an 8-hour window, that seemed to fit best with the way I'm comfortable eating (no breakfast because of meds that take away appetite and also have to be taken without food), lunch, then dinner and evening for any snacks. (This is also the pattern of my partner, Robert, except he also eats a Jimmy Dean biscuit in the mornings, a major part of the dog ritual.) My danger time is 8 to 11 p.m., which is when I consume the junk I don't need, which is one of the reasons the microfasting appeals to me. The other is that it emphasizes getting in your exercise right before you eat your first meal, so that will encourage me to exercise to get my mind off the fast.

I'll be eating from noon to 8 p.m., walking the dog at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., and spending 45 minutes dog-paddling in the pool at 11 a.m. I can have black coffee in the mornings and water at any time; I just have to eat what I eat between noon and 8. But I don't care to be nagged by MND that I haven't eaten breakfast. Would the software handle better for me psychologically if I pretend my noon meal is "breakfast"?
