Why I Fast 16 Hours a Day (and Still Eat Sugar at Night)

No starvation. No restriction. Just a simple, flexible system that works.

Most people overcomplicate fasting. They think it means starving or suffering.

Here’s what it actually means for me:

• 16 hours off / 8 hours on: I stop eating after dinner and don’t eat again until late morning or early afternoon. That’s it.
• Mental clarity in the morning: No big breakfast means no energy crash.
• Better digestion, better energy: My meals are more intentional.
• I still eat sugar and drink wine: This plan gives me room to live.

I don’t fast to follow trends. I fast to:

• Train better
• Stay lean year-round
• Keep my brain sharp
• Actually enjoy my food without overthinking it

This is a flexible system. And it works because it’s sustainable.

Try it for a few days. You’ll notice the difference.
