Ah I thought this was basic knowledge.

I once had a group of 30 people working in a different time zone.

The whole day I was like DON'T EAT DON'T EAT

I have an even better solution, though it relies on the same basic confusion:

EAT FOR 24 STRAIGHT HOURS.

This way, you can still enjoy the tastes you love, and still trick your body into not realizing the differences in time!

Intentionally starve myself? Uh...no thanks. I just go outside and soak up some rays after a small cup of coffee. That usually wakes me up enough to get me through the day~
this is my quote.

I think I would probably be pretty hungry after 16h of fasting. Which means I would eat a huge meal at the end of it... and end up feeling all drowzy from eating so much.
Dunno, anyways since I live in a GMT+1 timezone I rarely travel more than + or - 6 time zones.

Wow, that's a nice find. Good information for when you're traveling.

The only downside is slight hunger issues and potential cavity searches.

There's another way that involves limiting the amount of light coming in (using sun glasses) and only sleeping at certain times. It actually works, but there's a different schedule you have to follow for each trip, depending on whether you're going forward or backward X amount of hours.

I don't know where to find the information online though.

Sounds really, good; I'd be willing to starve myself for 14 hours if this actually helps avoiding jetlag.
I won't be able to test this very soon though, since I almost never travel to timezones that vary more than one or two hours from mine o_o And the next overseas trip is not going to take place in the near future.

Well if you're going to the states/canada from china or korea, the flight itself should be around that length. So just skip the airplane food, it's not like they are any good anyway.

Actually the airline food is probably pretty decent, with a stronger taste than normal food, but in a pressurized cabin your tastebuds don't work as they normally do.

why starve yourself?
if u land in the morning stay up all night before your flight so u sleep the whole way.
if you land at night then stay awake during the trip so u fall asleep.

Hmm, I could try using this to set my internal clock back about 6 hours so I can get up at 5:30 am again once school starts XD

Alright boys, here's the scientific results of the scientific study I scientifically conducted in my home.

I've been sleeping at unconventional and somewhat random hours because I'm a college student on summer break who doesn't care when he wakes up. For about the last week I haven't been going to bed before 5AM. Generally it takes me about a week to get to waking at 5AM by staying up progressively later, first 7, then 10, then 14:00, then 13, then 14, then 17, then 20. Or something like that. I decided to give this a try.

I fasted from dinner Tuesday until 6am Weds morning. The article didn't mention anything about doing anything but fasting, so I slept from 11PM-3AM because I was tired. I slept again that morning from noon till 6PM, but when I awoke I found myself feeling much less rested than usual. Last night I went to bed around 10PM and I woke up at 5 this morning. I had a relatively short fast (12 hours), so maybe more accurate results could be had with the longer one, but this seems like a great success for me. 36 hours from first fast till fixed clock is pretty incredible.

Some of you may be like, lol mannerman it takes you a week to stay up all night, I just stay up for really long one day!! That's fine, but I would needs loads of caffeine to do that, and that doesn't give me anything like a regular sleep pattern even after I wake up at a normal time, I still feel drowsy the next day and am susceptible to naps which will just ruin it straight off the bat. I feel fantastic waking up this morning, I have normal amounts of energy and I feel like I'll be waking up at good times for the foreseeable future.

Final notes:
I did drink water during my fast.
I felt really weird all day after the fast was broken, like something was off.
It worked.

I've never understood the concept of jetlag
I'm always tired, no matter the cirumstance
Also I've gone several days without eating before. After a while you just feel really weak... the only real bad part was the headache. The people who can't go 16 hours without food probably also have postings in the fitness thread -.-

I think I would rather suffer jetlag than not eat for 16 hours.
We are vigilant.
