I've recently started a "diet" a month ago in which i went from having a reasonably large breakfast and pretty much no dinner to a more "spread out" eating I've experimented a noticeably harder time going to sleep(going to sleep an hour latter on average and having a harder time sleeping)

This was my nutritionist recommendation. I might be biased, but Ive definitely noticed a difference and im having a hard time finding reasons to follow his recommendations.

Great video. Other aspects to consider with regards to individual variability are things such as energy levels and the ability to fall asleep. Personally my mental focus is highest before I've consumed a "large meal" at any point; so I'll usually run on shakes and fruit for my first few meals. Also, I find it challenging to fall asleep hungry and will drift off much more easily if I've eaten close to bed time.

With these things taken into account, and given the numerous benefits of getting decent sleep, it may be worthwhile for people similar to myself to follow a slightly different structure than has been recommended.

Again, awesome content, guys.

I spend my time being up all night and go to sleep around noon or sometimes 8am or 3.I never have been overweight or sick.I think its garbage foods and stress that is key to eliminate not when you sync up with your body,Your body syncs up with you.Its always changing to accommodate.

I've been doing fasting protocols for years. But I used to eat later at night (eating window 7-11pm).

Once I learned about circadian rhythms and started being done eating before 7pm, I felt better, slept better, digested better, etc..

Good topic and question: Have you or anyone you have trained with experimented with potassium intake? Whether by food or supplementation. Some studies are surfacing that it affects you IGF-1 levels in the muscles, and also growth hormone, at least compared to low levels.

Vid seems legit to me. I'm a shift worker, and can't help but eat a large meal right before I go to bed. I know it's killing me slowly, but I can't sleep when I'm hungry. :/ wtf am I supposed to do?

Prehaps I'm wrong, but I feel this information mostly applies to people with sedentary lifestyle I don't think a marathon runner or a crossfit athlete would care if they are eating a lot of carbs before bed, It would be beneficial as this give the carbs time to get in to the blood stream and be stored ready for a morning run

How does training more then once a day affect the body bulking and cutting version also splitting cardio for example working out in the afternoon and cardio in the morning vice versa and the affects of the meals upvote for the comment to be better heard

Something that has been bothering me in terms of nutrition timing is how long does it take for a meal to be metabolized. For example let's say one wants to minimize the effects of a cheat meal. How should they place physical activity around it either to minimize negative effects (fat gain) or exploit it in any possible positive ways?
Excellent content as always, keep up with the videos! 😉

Being able to consume more and expend more while "staying the same" (composition), putting your metabolism on long-term overdrive is logically not good for longevity or health. Our heartbeats, digestive cycles, all processes of our body have a finite amount of revolutions. This 'more' mindset is all borne out of carbohydrate-dependency and unhealthy relationships with food, which are in turn borne out of the industrialisation of capitalism, treating people like battery-consumers to maximise 'productivity' and sell products to. 'Fidgeting' lol. Intermittently cycling in such an approach however (as our ancestors would have done while feasting-fasting) for increased training potential, recovery, and possibly in an amended form for energy storage definitely has some benefits. IF, common sense, in harmony with nature ftw

And with a higher-fat diet when necessary getting calories in over shorter windows is easy

A guru ones said:

“Food regimen is not complicated, just listen to your body and eat when you feel hungry and stop eating when you feel full. Any other thing will create disease.”

And it makes more sense than eating on a clock. If you ate 1 hour ago at 12 pm and 1 pm is your normal eating time, it wouldn’t be a good idea to eat now if you not hungry but still digesting the previous food.

That being said, there are ideal times of the day you want to have your meals at although it may not always possible depending on your schedule.
