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.

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.

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.”

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

Güler and his colleagues demonstrate that the pleasure center of the brain that produces the chemical dopamine, and the brain's separate biological clock that regulates daily physiological rhythms, are linked, and that high-calorie foods—which bring pleasure—disrupt normal feeding schedules, resulting in overconsumption.

So activating the pleasure center of your brain makes you over eat?

Hmmm

Here’s one you’ll never find any support for: the epidemic of fattitude is caused by a Soviet biological warfare agent that escaped the lab.

It’s the only hypothesis that explains all the facts.

Using mice as study models...

Well there is the problem with this study.
People aren't mice.
