Too much coke?
Wine gums 
Overrated vestigial bonelets.
@Hammerer I hadnât missed this thread but didnât have anything to add before.
I donât disagree with the above but as you said itâs still a oversimplified. The impact of the type of food and when you eat on hormone levels which control hunger and satiety play a huge role in helping people eat fewer calories and there are some pretty convincing arguments that the insulin spikes and build up of insulin resistance have a sizeable impact on your metabolism and ability to process sugar and therefore impacts CICO.
Ultimately, the message to eat healthy whole foods, donât eat late at night when self control is less, reduce alcohol and other empty calories is all most people need. However that message doesnât sell book/products and a lot of people delude themselves that theyâre eating healthily.

Nuts.
I eat a lot of them now, generally before a meal or as a snack. They are full of fat and of course protein. I believe they have helped to flatten the insulin spikes, and reduce hunger; particularly after my huge bowl of banana porridge 
I âfastâ now as well, 14h overnight at least 6 days a week.
I havenât put on any weight despite all those fatty nuts, in fact I lost a couple of kilos, and itâs stayed there.

I have trouble with nuts, I could eat a dayâs entire calorie intake in one sitting

Isnât it wierd that people have a nut allergy to a legume?
What sort of nuts are talking here?
I need a healthier snack replacement
Walnuts, cashews, almonds?
Much like @Hammerer i suspect I would instantly devour handfuls at a time
Blend up dried dates with cashews, almonds, chia, coconut, cacao nibs and make balls. Itâs easier to just take 1 or 2 than nuts where you take an unspecified amount.

Right, bringing this back on track.
And to stop other threads being derailed 
Started the 16:8 last Thursday, after Mullet Man mentioned it the previous day, so nearly a week in now 
Been going well, just starving for around four hours every morning
I doubt a brief 1500m swim stretched me in anyway.
Same as I wouldnât eat before an hour ride to work. Or a 2.5hr run to work
Iâd never call that âfastedâ or anything - just time efficient 
My body has enough fat to use if itâs that hungry
Plus ⌠coffee = appetite suppressant

Straight in there eh! I did 10/14 for a few months first. Like I said; you getting up so early and exercising will make it more challenging too.

Iâm a simple guy.
I canât ever remember not eating on purpose after physical exercise for decades.
Did it once in the Army as a test ( we cheated and stored rations ! It was still unpleasant at times)
Your body literally clings onto its richest food source ( fat) as it goes into starvation mode.
16:8 works dramatically well for virtually everyone whoâs tried it, some of the results were mind blowing ( most werenât trainers like us though) never really heard of exercise at any other point other than at the end of the 16 then straight into calories.
To exercise at 13? Then wait another 2? Iâm not sure how sustainable that is long term, but Iâd be interested to hear the results.
Your a good athlete youâve just got a touch heavy, Stick at it!
