I found this article very interesting and informative, thank you! I’ve done 16:8 before and found that it helped me stop binging streaks from time to time. I was wondering if you (or anyone on the team) could write about the relationship between veganism/being an athlete and orthorexia? And, like, tips for combatting/working through triggers? I’m always attracted to things that are “good for me” (when I got to the part of this article about anti-inflammatory benefits, my brain was *lighting up*), but I’ve realized recently that I have a very (mentally) unhealthy relationship with food, my body, and exercise. I bet a *lot* of people in this community suffer similar issues, but don’t even realize it’s a problem because of how pervasive diet culture is. I only recently found out that data show that people who are “obese” and exercise regularly tend to be healthier overall than thinner folks. I’d love if No Meat Athlete did a series on “intuitive eating” and “healthy at every size.” I’ve followed this blog since I was 17, just a fledgling vegan 🙂

I’ve done 20:4 for about 1 year ate in the evening. Wish I had known about 16:8 and 20:4 in in school. As an Adult, 20:4 fixed my slurred speech and gave me confidence in meetings. No more eye redness, dryness, not oversensitive to bright lights, better focus (can read fine print w/out magnifier. Cured my motion and sea sickness. Better skin, heels fast from cuts/bruises. Better teeth and gums. Better balance while on a ladder and no pain next day from physical work or weightlifting. No insulin spikes and crashes that were giving me the shakes. Much better mood and focus after work. Steady energy throughout the day.
