8. The Biggest Gain
If we look at each of these seven wins as a stand-alone benefit, it's easy to overlook the biggest gain that intermittent fasters talk about: a more enriched life. With the burden of excess fat lifted, and more time and energy available, a few more dollars to work with and a shift toward working with their body's natural rhythm rather than fighting it, the world becomes a brighter place with new opportunities.
Simplicity opens new possibilities for expanding life in ways that get lost in our culture. Perhaps the best part about these seven wins is that, taken collectively, they can help people become more responsible, thoughtful citizens of the planet. The capability is built into all of us as humans, and because it's built in, it's free for life.
The word "diet" can change from a burden to encouragement by reading it as an acronym: D-I-E-T, short for "Did I enrich today?" An enriched, whole-life diet goes far beyond food and weight loss; it's about filling life not with food but with meaning, challenge, human connection and play.
