1/ Some preliminary data from the #EatingWindowExperiment while we wait for the labs to come back.
These are the mean avgs for each period taken over the last 3 days of each phase (wake/7am/9am/2pm/7pm/10pm) compared.
Needless to say, this is some fascinating stuff...

2/ I was taking glucose and ketones (BHB) via @KetoMojo, lipids via CardioChek from @ptsdiagnostics
Where my test and meal times were the same, I'd take the blood test just before the meal.

3/ Again, I'm eating exactly the same thing in each phase, exercising the same, sleeping the same, etc -- the only difference is in the 10.5hr window my meals are 5 hours apart. In the 4.5hr window my meals are 2 hours apart.
(I added the 0.5 to reflect eating time of last meal)

1/ Thread — #EatingWindowExperiment initial thoughts...

All in all, this turned out pretty well. Yes, I had to amend in tighter fasting window timing after the first day....

2/ Going from evening to midday was a very meaningful change with regard to how challenging it would be.

I normally don’t like fasting more than 14 hours. But this window of 10am-2pm (3 meals) was surprisingly easy.

3/ I think the key was to intentionally eat enough calories that would have normally been over the course of a day anyway. That said, I might have been able to further restrict how much I eat in the last meal (2pm).
