A lot of people are sharing this new meta-analysis as proof that “intermittent fasting has no benefits.”

I don’t think that’s what it shows.

What it does show is pretty straightforward. In controlled trials (where calories are matched), IF produces weight loss similar to standard dietary advice, and generally better than doing nothing. That’s exactly what you’d predict if the driver is energy intake.

But for many people (including myself), changing the timing of eating using IF/TRE is a simpler, more sustainable way to achieve a calorie deficit than tracking food.

There’s also evidence that fasting can influence glucose regulation, circadian biology, sleep, and even cognitive function.

So I wouldn’t read this as “IF doesn’t work.” I’d read it as IF isn’t magic when calories are controlled, but it can be a useful tool for adherence and may have timing-related benefits beyond weight.

The White House: We’re unable to track $6.2 billion dollars sent to Ukraine.

California: We’re unable to track $24 billion dollars spent to combat homelessness.

The Pentagon: We’re unable to track $2.3 trillion dollars of military spending.

The U.S. Treasury: We’re unable to track $5 trillion dollars of pandemic spending.

The IRS: We know you sent $601.57 to your friend, you better report it or you’re going to jail.

What are your thoughts?

We went from “the files don’t exist” to “there are over a million documents” pretty quickly.

This is the best political news I’ve encountered in a very long time — so please pass it on 👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state — and they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Yall realize that Iran allows inspections of their nuclear program, they’ve signed the nuclear treaties, and we were one day away from peace talks.

This “stopping Iran from getting a nuke” narrative is propaganda cooked up by Israel- the nation that stole its nuclear weapons tech, hasn’t signed the treaties and doesn’t allow inspections.

Backwards world. And everyone’s just gobbling it up like when Iraq definitely had WMDs.
