A BMI of 24 is still not truly healthy.

I have read about extra weight possibly being a benefit while in later years, but if your inflammation levels are not low, at least based on blood indications—one of which could likely be your higher glucose/insulin levels from your pre-diabetes, you need to eat healthier and/or lose fat.

Fat creates low-level inflammation. You have plenty of that, at a BMI of 24, unfortunately. The more you have, the ever more chronic inflammation you get across your whole body.

Other blood indicators you can easily find include:

• Hs-CRP
• HbAIC
• Fasting Insulin
• Serum Ferritin
• Red Blood Cell Width
• Homocysteine
• ESR and Platelets
• Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)
• Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)
• Liver Enzymes
• Lipid Panel
• Vitamin D3

It’s a lot easier to continue not eating — than to stop once you’ve started.

Restrict eating sugar, and sugar-added/sugar-loaded foods, and drinking non-water drinks, to between 2500 hours and 2600 hours.

Why did the study not combine low calorie with time restriction? Or maybe I missed that point.
