My buddy Charles has been experimenting on himself. If I'm not mistaken, this experiment is still ongoing. It seems to involve a combination of intermittent fasting, a concomitant change in Charles's morning routine, and the re-addition of HIIT to his exercise regimen.
Some of Charles's experiences dovetail with things I experienced while on my walk, such as when Charles writes about dealing with the sensation of hunger. I can relate, although my own situation—being on the trail—meant that I had little choice but to cope with hunger pangs by simply taking hunger to be a brute fact of existence and soldiering onward until the day was ended, and I could finally eat a decent meal and grab some snacks.
My long walk, and my habit of eating only once per day during the trek, essentially put me on an intermittent-fasting regimen. Again, though, I should note that this regimen was a necessary consequence of the strictures of the walk, not the result of a voluntary choice to engage in intermittent fasting. Charles's way requires more willpower.
