After 7 Months, Tried the Warrior Diet

My seven- to eight-hour eating window was feeling amazing, but I figured I'd experiment with the Warrior Diet, or 20:4, since I'd heard so much about it. You fast for 20 hours and eat all your daily calories in a four-hour eating window. I chose to eat from 3:00/3:30 p.m. to 7:00/7:30 p.m.

It seemed totally crazy and I only planned to do it for one week, thinking it'd be horrible, but by the end of the week, I liked it so much, I did it for another week. I experienced more mental clarity, more energy, happiness, and a leaner belly. After this experience, I listened to my body — some days I did 16:8, some days 18:6, a few days 20:4, and some days I ate all day (shout out to PMS).
