A recent study in The New England Journal of Medicine highlighted the health benefits of intermittent fasting, in which you simply reduce the window of time during which you eat during the day. While you can adjust the eating and fasting windows to whatever works best for you, consistency is key. Keeping my meals to the hours of noon to 8 p.m. has made me more mindful of what I'm putting in my body, and it keeps me from excessively snacking throughout the day. Be forewarned: crankiness is common while the body adjusts to this new schedule, but it gets easier!
