Fasting is easy... Start by eating dinner at a normal hour (say 6pm). This shouldn't be hard because the commute time to kitchen is now 4 seconds. Then skip breakfast and eat lunch at a noon. Also easy because your morning is now full up with calls. You've now successfully fasted 18 hours.

(1) I would start with 16:8 - for me 11:30-19:30 works the best. Once you get used to it you can change the ratio to 18:6. Zero app (it’s for free) is very helpful:)
(2) headspace is great, but ive never tried calm tbf

Just downloaded. This app is great! Love the ‘Learn’ section

Calm and headspace! I would recommend trying both to see which style you prefer. Calm always offers massive discounts by email a few days after you start your trial, so hold off until you get one

Thank you in advance! 🙏🏽

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?
