It's like have dinner, earlier dinners are better. So have dinner at five. Let's say you're done eating at six. If you don't eat snacks and dessert after that and you wake up at 6 a.m., you already fasted 12 hours. You could just wait two more hours and you did a 14-hour fast. So you have breakfast at 8. It's not that big of a deal. But that midnight snack ruins you biologically.

And if you're saying, okay, I can go past 8. I'm just going to wait and have some breakfast-y kind of thing at 10. Well, you just did a 16 hour fast. You wait till noon. Oh my God, you did an 18 hour fast, 18 six fast. That's what all the paleo people do. It's not that hard, but here's when it's hard. And I say this as a guy who was obese for much of my life.

If when you wake up, you have a gnawing hunger, and all you can do is think about food, and you go into the office, and someone has a plate of donuts there, the donut's gonna win. It's gonna say, eat me, and you're gonna say, no. And it's gonna say, eat me, and you're gonna say, no. And the conversation gets more and more shrill, and it's like arguing with a two-year-old.
