Reddit reviews The Circadian Code: Lose Weight, Supercharge Your Energy, and Transform Your Health from Morning to Midnight

I think it's easier to think about what NOT to do:

Dont eat too many white carbs/sugar. This includes soda, fruit juices and energy drinks.

Dont eat before bed. Your body needs a few hours to proces the last meal, to get a good nights sleep.

Dont eat processed foods with ingredients you can't pronounce.

>make up for the loss in flavor?

as my diet narrows down to beef muscle meat, I find that my ability to perceive, discriminate and appreciate smaller and subtler differences increases. Sometimes I crave various carbs, but as time goes by, I find real solid comfort from knowing I can eat meat.

I have been limiting my food to an 8 hour window starting when I wake up in the morning and turn on the lights, because of the proven benefits of separating the eating window from rest time. Digestion shuts off the rebuilding process, and the effect lasts for 4 hours, and it's a binary effect, not dose-dependent; so one bite of food before bedtime decreases the amount of time you will heal (which happens during sleep) by at least half. Plus, the first wave of sleep is the deep sleep in which repair is emphasized, so for healing, that's the one you want to make sure you maximize. Here's how this relates to your point: if I have to wait to eat, I really build up an appetite and eating is more psychologically satisfying.



Pemmican is very different from jerky made from salted fatty ground beef in my dehydrator, which is very different from fresh steak tartare meat straight from the package, which is very different from sous vide chuck roast cooked 24-48 hours at 129 deg F then seared on the griddle (which is a lot like filet mignon at at a fancy restaurant) , which is different from searing on the grill in the fresh air, which is different from searing on a plate using a propane torch, which is different from fatty ground beef sauteed in its own fat in a frying pan until crispy... and I'm sure I still have a lot to learn.

Evening chronotype is a real trait, but it may not be innocuous for people who have it, like the more extreme delayed sleep phase disorder (Study) Evening chronotype tends to be associated with various negatives including metabolic syndrome and mood disorders (Circadian disorders; Google scholar). How much of this is due to living in an early-bird world? Unclear, but there are so many things linked up to circadian rhythm, melatonin, light exposure, etc that it seems unlikely that an evening chronotype has got all of it working perfectly just with a time delay. Depression is genetic too.

If you want to do more research, here are the other resources I know of that relate to this topic (plus the site above):
