@Likewise Great advice ! I am down that road too: low carb chocoholic (now moving on to cocoa nibs) with 6 hours of feed window 5 days a week.

I am 58 years old and insulin resistant. The above nutritional changes plus 40 min of strenght/cardio training every other day, have given me a new lease on life.

My own two bits: walnuts, pecanas, macadamias and avocado provide a lot of healty fats and Omega3/6 balance. When taken at the end of the feeding window, they make the 18 hr fast a piece of... err meatpie 🙄 !

I also make my own cannabinoid extracts. Non psychotropic ones such as cannabinol CBN (main CB2 receptor agonist) and CBD from flower (no hemp) help regulate blood sugar, stabilize mood and protect my liver, spleen colon and pancreas.

Gladly surprised to find your testimony as health does not seem to be a priority for mastodon people...

Diagram depicting which human organs relate to which endocannabinoid receptors. Lungs, brain, vascular system, reproductive organs and muscle behaviour are regulated by CB1 receptors ( anandamide and THC). Colon, spleen and immune system are regulated by CB2 receptors (2-AG and CBN). Bones, pancreas and liver are regulated by both type of receptors.

So this isn’t a post about dieting but about #facebook nazies.

I have decided to do #intermittentfasting. I’ve just finished #menopause which has been just ‘fun’ 🙄. I’ve put on the excess weight and I have to work out what to do. My parents, in their 80s, have done #it and it seems to work when you have terrible metabolism.

I joined #bodyfast, German, pretty good, did a sample a year ago and it kind of works for me.

Just for your info #IF is not about counting calories, they say it very clearly when you join don’t do it. It isn’t about stopping people eating what they like, they made that pretty clear.

So they tell me i SHOULD JOIN THEIR #FACEBOOK. I did. I hate Facebook and really should just shut it again. I opened it to sell furniture while moving to Perth.

So Facebook says share a photo I have taken and introduce myself, so I did.

I’m quite proud of this #christmascake it looks pretty good.

OMG the questions: why did you share this picture? Do you know how much sugar is in fruitcake. Long diatribe of how bad this is. What was I thinking?

So I left the group. Facebook asked why and I said I didn’t like the members.

Do you like my fruit cake?

A rat study on the effects of 4-hour time-restricted feeding and 60% calorie restriction on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (FLD) found that both alleviated FLD and reduced body weight. Time-restricted feeding was slightly more effective than caloric restriction (and is presumed to be an easier regime for people to follow).

BioMed CentralEffect of time-restricted feeding and caloric restriction in metabolic associated fatty liver disease in male rats - Nutrition & MetabolismBackground The prevalence of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is high. However, there are few studies on the effects of time-restricted feeding (TRF) and caloric restriction (CR) in MAFLD. Objectives To investigate the efficacy and mechanism of 4 h TRF and 60% CR in MAFLD. Methods Twelve male Sprague–Dawley rats were randomly assigned to the Normal group (normal diet, 10 kcal% fat), while the remaining 38 rats were assigned to the MAFLD group (high-fat diet, 60 kcal% fat). 10 weeks later, the MAFLD group was randomly divided into the 4 h TRF, 60% CR, 4 h TRF + 60% CR, and Model groups; all rats were then given normal diet. After 4 weeks, weight, blood lipid, and other indicators were detected. Results After the high-fat diet was discontinued, the liver lipid levels in the rat with MAFLD significantly reduced, while the body weight was not significantly changed. The rats in the Model group were heavier than those in the other four groups (p < 0.01). The triglyceride levels were higher in the TRF + CR group compared with the Model group (p < 0.01). Compared with the Model group, 110 metabolites were decreased in the TRF + CR group, and 83 metabolites were elevated in liver. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes revealed that the mechanism involved the proliferator–activated receptor alpha signaling pathway, metabolic pathway, and so on. We observed differences in silent information regulator transcript 1 (SIRT1) mRNA levels in all five groups (p = 0.003). Conclusions 4 h TRF and 60% CR significantly reduced body weight and liver lipid in rats with MAFLD. 4 h TRF can improve MAFLD, and there is no need to excessively restrict food intake.

Now it's a year later. I've lost almost 30 lbs in a slow and controlled fashion. I eat a wider variety of plants now than I used to (even mushrooms! I used to hate those). I have shifted my cravings from sweet to more bitter. Never before would I have thought I'd just drink plain coffee or complain about donuts being too sweet! And most importantly, it's comfortable and sustainable *for me*. I don't feel like I'm missing anything and I eat enough. I'm happy.

Having a doctor say to eat more fruits and vegetables wasn't enough. But reading that book on ultra-processed foods was. Along with intermittent fasting, I had a new strategy to try. So I made two changes: cutting out a lot (but not all) ultra-processed foods and keeping myself to a shorter food day. Often it's 8 hours, but I'm flexible. On work days, it's easy for me to eat breakfast later, but on weekends, I'm more lenient so I can share the meal with my wife.

About a year ago, my wife had to fast prior to a surgery, and I decided to fast in solidarity. It was noon before I ended up eating that day, but I managed it fine. I'd heard about intermittent fasting (or time-restricted eating) and the benefits it might have for weight management, and I decided that over the next few days, I'd see how well I'd manage on just a 10 or so hour food day.

Today was my first day in the gym for a week, as we went away for the schools holiday week. I stuck to my #intermittentfasting and didn't drink and alcohol, but I did eat too many carbs and dropped out of ketosis.

My shin splints also returned when I tried another run on Tuesday, so I've completely stopped on that front.

I slept dreadfully last night (being woken up twice will do that), but I still managed 8x77.5 kg (171 lb) on the bench @ RPE 9, which I was pretty happy with. 1/n

We are not rodents.

That's the conclusion from recent studies on time restricted feeding / intermittent fasting compared to rat studies.

Early human studies were flawed because fasting participants were consuming significant fewer calories compared to the control group. Theories about autophagy were flawed because rat metabolism is much faster and benefits of longer term fasting are outweighed by muscle loss.
