On Intermittent Fasting and being a Ramen Hobbyist

I find myself making less ramen.   It’s ok, I’ll keep producing for friends and family and for content. BUt doing 16:8 for a few weeks now I find I crave the heavy ramen stuff less and less. Ramen is awesome. Ramen is undulgent. It is the ultimate drunk food – likened to tacos, pizza,…
