What is it like when you go to England and you take two days off? What is that feeling? You sit there and go like, boy, everything sure is crisp. Does it need to be? It's not bad. It's not like I'm Jones and I'm pounding tables. I don't have that kind of relationship with it. But it is kind of like, you know, like remember I wore to hockey jersey forever. You know, a lot of people were like, you don't want to wear something else. I'm like, huh. I've been married for like 20 years. Like I dig in. Once something works with me, I stick with it. Went vegan, still vegan, you know, like never really altered since that happened and stuff. So for me- You did that post-heart attack, right? Post-heart attack. After the day after the heart attack, because my kid made me. My kid was like, she'd been vegan for a couple of years. And she was like scared because she'd never been through anything. Real first world kid, wonderful kid, but like no tragedies in life and shit like that. We did well as friends. Was you getting regular blood worked on? I just went and saw my doctor, what is it, two months ago, Dr. Leidenheim. And did the stress test where, you know, you're on the treadmill and you go up and stuff and then they take all the blood. And he was like, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. It's amazing. He said, I can see your heart because they take pictures of your heart. He's like, I know where the heart attack was. So I know exactly where to look. He's going, if I didn't know where to look, you would never tell. He's like, right now there's no lasting damage. Keep going. So I hike running every day. Nice. I vegan out like a year and a half ago because of the kid and haven't really strayed back somewhat plant based. And I'm intermittent faster. I don't eat breakfast anymore. I'm not going to be like breakfast is propaganda, but it kind of is. You don't really need to eat that early in the day. Particularly, you know what? That's untrue. Thin people maybe do. Guy my size certainly didn't need to be eating breakfast. Could have skipped a few meals. I do the same. I take 16 hours off. That's the way to break the fast. Do you pick a time or is it as deep as you can go? No, just 8 and 16. I just do it based on. What's the soonest you eat then, generally speaking? It depends. But I've gone as late as like 1, 2 in the afternoon. Yeah, that's why I try to make it till noon the earliest and like by 2 I'm ready. I'm ravenous. Yeah, I think it's totally doable. Your body gets really used to it too. What I generally do is I get up in the morning, I'll have a cup of coffee, and then I work out. And either I run or I do yoga or I do something. Whatever I do is pretty intense. And then I do podcasts generally around noon. That's when I start the day. And so I've already been up for hours and hours. And sometimes I don't even eat until after the podcast. Sometimes I'll eat at like 3. Have you gone days where you don't eat at all? No. I've done that. I burn off too many calories I think. Well, you also work out every day. I just have the hike and stuff. But I love days where I can totally skip all the way down because the body is still feeding off of like stored energy and stuff like that. But I'm also, I'm a WW guy, ambassador. So that made, like my reduced eating made like staying on points like insanely easy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
