To achieve an 8-hour feeding window, aim for a 6- or 7-hour window to account for real-life constraints.

“if you want to select an eight hour feeding window, then you should probably focus on a six or seven hour feeding window because in reality, your feeding window is going to be longer reality, meaning real life constraints.”

“And the other nice thing about selecting a slightly shorter eating window than is comfortable for you is that it takes into account that as you take your last bite or your last sip of calories, there's this time or taper before, which you are actually in a fasted state.”

“if you'd like to be on a 10 hour feeding window, that you should probably select an eight hour feeding window, because there's always a little bit of a taper on either side of that eating window.”

“And then once you establish a feeding window that feels comfortable for you and that you think you can maintain over time, that you simply maintain that feeding schedule for at least 30 days, but ideally you would do that indefinitely.”

“if your goal is a 10 hour feeding window, you might want to set it to nine hours or eight hours. If your goal is six hours, you might want to set it to seven or eight hours. And this is simply based by, I shouldn't say simply this is based on thousands, if not tens of thousands of human subject data points that Satchin and colleagues have collected.”

“The important thing here is to establish a feeding window that you can comfortably manage. Okay? Meaning that on average you can obey an 8 hour feeding window or a 10-hour feeding window and then to place that feeding window in a social and life context that you can manage on a regular basis.”
