# Fasting I practice intermittent fasting, meaning I only eat during one window in each day. I do an 8-16 split, where my first meal is around noon and my last food is around 8pm. I've done one 3-day water fast so far and would like to do it again, it was great. I need to collect more concrete resources on fasting, most of my information is second hand from people like Tim Ferris and Peter Attia. Broadly though I have enjoyed the following benefits: * More regular energy throughout the day * Better understanding of the relationship between certain foods and mood * Increased lean mass with minimal body fat * Even gaining lean mass without increasing body fat noticeably --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
