    Exactly … I know a guy who eats intermittently over 24 sometimes 48 hours. He works in a factory as a manager but gets involved in everything because he’s been there for 30 years. He’ll go to work and run around continuously to the point where he just won’t take time to eat.

    Thing is, when he gets home to actually eat, he eats terribly, drinks endless beers, guzzles coffee like water and is still overweight. He has a heart condition, sleep apnea and chronic acid reflux.

    It’s not how or when you eat … it’s what you eat and the amount of what you eat.

      also stress is not helping - being constantly challenged to the point where you cannot take brakes isn’t good for your health

      Idk if your one anecdote is enough to say “its not how or when you eat”.

      Its entirely possible intermittent fasting is useful, even though your guy you know eats like shit so much to undo the potential good.
