This is a good alternative to
Very healthy + you get to eat as much as you want for 8
Many benefits (Google knows).. It's almost like how we used to eat - Just hunting, gathering nuts and berries etc... Make it healthy during the 8 hours too though - Loving self and it's taking good care with patience.
Don't obsess! You have 30-50+ years to live. It all doesn't have to all be done in one day.. Give yourself a year or more and slowly implement the diet change - Not one day and then failure.. You will fail a few times but no sweat, just try again next day - Once you get the hang of it, you can count calories in a mindful way..
Exercise, meditation, meds, study, socializing + Lots of breaks and mind candy time (Vegging out to TV, YouTube rabbit hole, games).
We've been the same people for 10k+ years - The only thing that has changed is technology.. If you look at what processed food and forcing religion, laws on native hunter gatherers all around the world, they used to be thin and ripped - Now they give coca cola to their babies in the morning.. Coca Cola ends up in every place in the world but not water?... errr they have diabetes, heart disease, etc...
You'll do good ^-; I was the king of reckless behaviour so if I can control self, you can too =] Life is great.. It can be once you get the right insight.. Some people are toxic and don't want to help or they put people down.. Compassion for others around you (Not the whole world - Cuz it's too big and macrocosmed) and yourself.. peace, tranquility, love, laugh life etc... It's all lovely funny things.
