I think every single person, whether it's 12 hours or 14 or 15 hours at some level.

You're going to fast while you're sleeping.

You need to give your body a little break.

I mean, when they looked at time logs and they looked at people's blood sugars and they actually saw how many hours a day people eat, they're not, most people are not stopping food for, they're only stopping for eight hours or seven hours.

Literally just they're eating right the second they go to bed and the second they wake up.

So even if you stretch that out, like 12 hours sounds like easy peasy, but it is not based on what most Americans are doing.

And Mary Claire, in the last few years, one of the things that's also changed my mind so much about like OMAD, which is one meal a day, is that study after study is coming out, whether it's intentional or not, the people who skip meals all day have worse health outcomes.

diabetes, cardiovascular disease, brain disease.

It's hard to do causative.

Some people don't eat all day because they're stressed.

So maybe there's lots of other factors playing into it.

But study after study that looks at people who skip meals all day

they just have worse outcomes.

It's just, you are meant to be eating when the sun is out, just like roughly, you don't have to match it.

You're roughly meant to have the biggest meals of your day in the daytime hours.

And you're roughly meant to be fasting in the darkness and nighttime hours.

And how you time that for me, the way I've told people to do it is at two to three hours before bed, just stop eating.

It's great for your digestion, great for your blood sugar, great for your brain, great for your sleep, two to three hours before bed.

So if you eat dinner at seven, you're going to go to bed at nine, probably want to take a walk or something before that, help your digestion, help your blood sugar.

And then you're going to wake up and you're either going to eat right at nine, which is 12 hours, or you're going to eat at 10 or 11, you know, stretch out that fast a little bit so that you have a great night of rest and repair.
