    What OP is referring to is intermittent fasting. In a 24 hour day, you don’t eat or fast for x # hours and then allow yourself a time window of y # hours where you are allowed to eat. In OP’s case, they are fasting for 20 hours and allow themselves a 4 hour time period per day where they can eat. It helps with a calorie deficit by limiting when you can eat, rather than mindless eating throughout the day. It can be a helpful tool for some.

        It’s possible to do, but harder than it seems. Especially if you add in requirements like getting a few cups of green veggies and a 100g of protein. That shit will fill you up fast!

          Yeah, I suppose if you have the willpower to go through with it you’re probably gonna do it the right way and not just get a huge plate of Chinese food

            Sometimes I do just eat a huge plate of Chinese food, but I’ll feel really gross after. It’s like my body knows it needs the best food so I’m always craving green veggies and nuts

        I’m not a fat fuck so I haven’t done this.

        But once I was going to an all you can eat meat place after work so I had a small breakfast and drank water in bulk through the day or your stomach closes. I felt full the next day haha.

        It’s kinda hard to eat loads if you haven’t eaten for a while.
