I am always a little bit self-conscious with creating new topics so please forgive me for hijacking this thread, but I feel my question is related enough.
I was thinking about how to Beemind Intermittent-Fasting. Intermittent-Fasting is where you have, for example, an eight hour eating period and then you don’t eat (aka fast) for sixteen hours and repeat that process. It has been mentioned in a couple of blog articles and there are people [1] who beemind intermittent-fasting, but I am not sure how to best do it.
What I would like to do is create a data-point for my last meal and then another one for my first meal after the fast. I am of the opinion that the fasting period is more important than the eating period. In other words, if I eat nine hours after the begin of the eating period that is okay as long as my fasting period afterwards is still the expected sixteen hours. (I can then simply do a shorter eating window and get back on my regular schedule, say eating time is from 10 till 18 o’clock.)
However, I would always want to derail if I eat before sixteen hours have passed.
I have tried some intermittent-fasting apps and they are annoying. Either they try to sell you a complete nutrition plan, they are completely bloated (for basically a stop watch with two modes), or they don’t give you the flexibility to extend the eating period a little.
I would be curious to hear from anybody who has a way of beeminding this use-case properly.
