Is it still applicable in modern times when life is obviously prolonged during the day?
First, the regimen advocated by ancient people is not to eat in the afternoon, which is a more suitable method for ancient people, but it is no longer applicable in modern times. Because the ancients got up at four or five in the morning, they all worked during the day, ate a meal in the morning, ate a meal in the afternoon and rested at six or seven in the evening. Without nightlife, they formed the habit of eating two meals a day. But now our work and rest habits are very different. Many young people still don't go to bed after twelve o'clock, and they stay up late to catch up with the drama and play games. Some of them have to work at night, so it is impossible not to eat after noon. After all, midnight snack is very attractive.

Second, tracing back to the source, not eating in the afternoon is actually a commandment stipulated by the Buddha. The correct saying is "don't eat at the right time". The purpose of his commandments is to facilitate self-cultivation, abstinence and reduce the burden on temples.

Third, although not eating after noon effectively controls excessive calorie intake and has a certain weight loss effect, it is easy to cause malnutrition, stomach problems and damage to health over time. Even some girls who love beauty, in pursuit of double-digit weight, eat a meal a day, even cook vegetables, and don't even eat staple foods such as rice. This practice is the least recommended. This is not to lose weight, but to shorten life. It is suggested that more exercise, reasonable diet and planning can achieve scientific weight loss.

Nowadays, people's life pressure and work pressure are relatively high, and the nutrition they need can't keep up at all. Many people are forced by life, and life is not ideal. Their faces are sallow, their eyes are dull and they look sick. If they don't eat in the afternoon, they can't hold on at all. In fact, in any case, good health is the most important thing. You don't need so many rules to restrain yourself, but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. You will undoubtedly become obese.
