My wife has decreed that we are going on an 8/16 intermittent fasting regime starting next week. I’m actually OK with that.

mice fed a diet comparable to a wild diet in calories and fats maintained normal eating and exercise schedules and proper weight.

What's a "wild" diet? That can be taken more than one way.

“Güler said the human body, through thousands of years of evolution, is hard-wired to consume as much food as possible as long as it’s available.”

Many people don’t get obese, in spite of the plenty. What’s wrong with them?

I broke FR Rules and read the link.

Headline is bogus.

The link at the end said "body clock" not "biological clock".

Study has nothing to do with heifers getting fat in their old age.

Whoooey...

I can't do keto or Adkins....I need some carbs....I can't do Mediterranean, which was voted the best weight loss diet by some nutritionists a few days ago, because I like my meat....

the intermittent fasting ..I could do.....they say to start with moderation.....so maybe I'll try 12 hrs and then move slowly up to 14...

“This diet’s wild, man!”

But mice fed high-calorie diets laden with fats and sugars began "snacking" at all hours and became obese.

Hidden in this sentence is the real culprit. The word is highlighted. Another word for food sugar is carbs.

Freaks.

I notice my pattern is when I’m relaxed, I eat less regardless of how food is available. I notice that when I’m paying attention to how my body feels, I eat less regardless of how much food is available.

These people no longer have any credibility as far as I am concerned. The have been consistently wrong for fifty years and continue to let political agendas drive their”science.”

“Freaks.”

Responsible people are not freaks.

Weakness isn’t overcome by disparaging the strong.

Stress and lack of sleep mess me up.

[umgud]

I need to quit having so many intimate dinners for two with just me showing up.

[EEGator]

Did you read the post he was replying to?

[EEGator]

Just vomit after you eat too much.
Do some cocaine, and take up smoking.

I did 12/12 (very easy) with the intention of adding 15 minutes per day. After 3 days it was effortless to go to 14/10 and then 16/8 a few days later.
