Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: 'I eat seven meals every week, just dinner'
"Wellness" routine
Jack Dorsey shared his eating habits of one meal a day, sometimes without eating on weekends.
He later updated his fasting habits and stated that he eats "seven meals every week, just dinner." It consists of protein like fish, chicken or steak, and a lot of greens. For dessert, he has mixed berries and maybe some dark chocolate.

What Intermittent fasting is
Intermittent fasting is based on the idea that when you reduce your calorie intake for limited stretches of time, your body will use its stored fat for energy. Intermittent fasting...
Time-restricted eating
One intermittent fasting method is known as time-restricted eating: A person consumes all of their calories for the day within an 8-to-12-hour window. You might eat breakfast at 8 AM, including coffee, and finishing your dinner by 6 PM.
In an experiment, two sets of mice were fed the same diet and ate the same number of calories a day. One set had access to food for 24 hours, and the other group had access for only 8 hours. After 18 weeks, the group that could eat all hours showed signs of insulin resistance and had liver damage. The mice who ate in an 8-hour window did not have the condition and weighed 28 percent less than the other group.
Food at the right time
Many of the human body’s processes are tied to our circadian rhythms.
Eating food at the right time can nurture us, and healthy food at the wrong time can be junk food because it gets stored as fat instead of being used as fuel.

Popular regimens of fasting:
- The 5:2 Pattern: restrict your calorie intake for two days per week (500 calories per day for women and 600 for men).
- The 6:1 Pattern: similar to the 5:2, but there’s only one day of reduced calorie intake instead of two.
- “Eat Stop Eat”: a 24-hour complete fast, 1–2 times per week.
- The 16:8 Pattern: only consuming food in an eight-hour window and fasting for 16 hours a day, every day of the week.
Keep fasting periods short
Longer periods of fasting increase your risk of side effects, such as dehydration, dizziness, and fainting.
The best way to avoid these side effects is to stick to shorter fasting periods of up to 24 hours — especially when you’re just starting out.
