I started to notice that my weight had crept up over the last 6 months so I decided to focus on reversing the trend. I had been exercising regularly, so it was really due to my diet. As a result, I did two things.
1) I learned of a study done on how our circadian clock and eating within our natural circadian clock can lead us to be much more healthy. This is also known as Time Restricted Eating. As a result, I started to use an app that tracks what I eat and if I'm eating within my circadian clock. You can learn more about this here and watch the videos below -

Good for you, Tyler! My daughter is a physical therapist and has used a similar approach to her diet for the last five or so years. She gave up on "white" carbs like white bread and rice and pasta made with white flour. She also eats several small protein-rich meals during the day. My wife and I picked up a number of these habits and it really does help keep the weight in check.
