You are in hour 16 of a fast, watching your partner eat pasta across the table. They don’t say anything, nor do you. But something small and irritating is happening between you. Couples who are already fasting but doing it alone know this feeling well. When one partner is in hour 14 of a fast […]

When your spouse is plating dinner at 6:45 p.m, and you’re still two hours inside your eating window. This is the hardest part. You’re not struggling with the fast. You’re struggling with what it keeps doing to the one meal of the day you used to share. At this stage of life, dinner is rarely […]

Your eating window doesn’t start for another three hours, but you’re already seated, the menus are open, and the server is heading over.
