Great post, and have incorporated all into my life for the last few years except the cold showers. Sorry but just cannot make myself do it! LOL - just a big wuss, I know. But IF is great, and was easy for me since my body seems to like food after 11am anyway. Used to drive my mom crazy when I was a kid because she always wanted to fix me a big breakfast before I went to school, and my body just did not deal well with early morning meals.

As an adult, I have never followed the usual eating habits of certain foods for certain meals, either. I tend to eat what my body seems to want, and it keeps me from overeating since I am pretty much always eating what I find satisfying at the moment.
