Tired of revision? Can't focus? Need more energy? Try this...

I'm not guessing at all. I've got enough common sense to know that I shouldn't be doing what you're suggesting. It might provide "temporary energy" but in the long run, it's a silly idea.



Why exactly would anyone want to do that though? The disadvantages are much greater than what it's worth.



In what way do humans currently eat that is so much of a problem it needs this apparent solution?

I can find several links, for example, an article I wrote on the topic myself.

But people may call me/them biased so I would invite them to find their own articles/studies.

Ya know what. I'll try this, cause anything to make me revise. I'll see how it goes.

It doesn't provide temporary energy at all. Rather than argue with me on a subject which you don't have much knowledge of, I recommend you have a look at the benefits/any disadvantages you're claiming, before you suggest that it's so so bad because of XYZ reason, and the benefits I'm suggesting are BS.

The disadvantages are not greater than it's worth at all. Again, you're speaking without experience, so you don't know of any disadvantages or what it is worth.

My point was that our 'ancestors' would eat one large meal, and could go days without eating. We don't need to eat as much/as often as is suggested, people just like food and often mistake being thirsty or just plain bored for being hungry.

I mean reliable links that contains actual proof of this being successful.

There are no 'side effects'.

Obviously drinking copious amounts of coffee isn't good for you due to the caffeine, but if you restrict caffeine consumption to a period when you are fasted, the benefits will be better felt and you will not crash as bad, or build up as much of a tolerance.

IF has many health benefits, such as elongating life, and is regarded as one of the healthiest ways to eat/live.

Students are known to love their food and I think the majority will find it hard to concentrate if they try to go without it for a long period of time

Unfortunately you're on tsr. Everyone is a "scientist"

Okay, so since I'll most likely be tired of revision by June you're suggesting that on the night of all my exams I should wake up in the morning and not have breakfast then proceed to go to school and take my exam having not consumed any food whatsoever? I shouldn't eat bc it won't be past 12:00pm and you are certain that will have absolutely no negative impact on the work I produce in that hall?

My point is, I don't need to read a 600 paged book on advantages/disadvantages to know it's a bad idea.




Our 'ancestors' pursued for food using stone hammers + spears. Let's all go on a wild cannibal hunt.

Hmm.

You want to give advice but there is different age group on TSR.

"Too much caffeine can lead to insomnia, jitteriness, upset stomach, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and increased heart rate. In younger children, these symptoms occur after just a small amount."

Also, drastic change in eating can have an effect on your weight.

They hear the words 'don't eat' and panic and all of a sudden become an expert on the issue.

That's not what I was suggesting. In fact, when I did IF last year I stopped for my exams because I didn't know exactly how I would cope and a lot of them fell around the time I would normally break my fast. I said try it out to help revision, I DID NOT say go into an exam without eating. I'm not asking you to read any 600 paged book, I'm just asking that you don't assume something about a topic which you clearly have no familiarity with. A quick google search would provide you with many credible sources providing information that is short and easy to read.

'You think'.

That's the point, you're just guessing.

Nope. That's not what I'm doing at all.

I'm just saying that .. Coffee + exams + lack of food =

Infact, lots of coffee in itself =



Alright, I'm tired now. Good luck.

You haven't posted any hard evidence either. For all we know, what you've written is as much of a guess. At the moment it's your unsupported opinion against his.

This is true.

Eating is like a hobby for some people

There is no lack of food. I don't know where you've got this idea from.

Going without food for a few more hours than you normally would does not mean you are getting a lack of it, it just means you're eating it later in the day.

Coffee is a very powerful thing when used right.

I'm sure everyone on here does things which 'hinder' their revision etc.

but you're not advising against doing those.

Like I said, it works for me, so I thought I would help some others out and share my experience. If I hadn't read about someone's experience of IF, I would have never tried it myself.
