Nice article. One definitely needs to figure out what works for them. But it's also important to know that intermittent fasting, such as not eating for 16 hours an eating within the other 8, can work. There's quite a bit of research done on that. You do need to make sure that you intake all the nutrients you need for the day in that 8 hour time period, but the only thing that does is compounding your food intake. Research even suggests that exercising on an empty stomach burns more fat, as the body needs to get to energy resources that have not been processed recently - which in this case would be your fat reserves.
But again, it is important to figure out what works for you, and it seems you've done just that!
