Insight

Start simple

Don't jump to 18:6 or OMAD. Begin with 12:12 (12 hours of eating, 12 of fasting) for 2 weeks, then narrow to 10:14, then 8:16. Consistency beats intensity.

Takeaway

Key Takeaway

Start with a 12-hour overnight fast and gradually narrow to 8-10 hours. Eat earlier when possible. Consistency matters more than extremity.
