Eating your daily calories within a consistent window of 8-10 hours is a powerful strategy to prevent and manage chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, according to a new manuscript published in the Endocrine Society's journal, Endocrine Reviews.
Time-restricted eating is a type of intermittent fasting that limits your food intake to a certain number of hours each day. Intermittent fasting is one of the most popular diet trends, and people are using it to lose weight, improve their health and simplify their lifestyles.
"People who are trying to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle should pay more attention to when they eat as well as what they eat. Time-restricted eating is an easy-to-follow and effective dietary strategy that requires less mental math than counting calories," said Satchidananda Panda, Ph.D., of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, Calif. "Intermittent fasting can improve sleep and a person's quality of life as well as reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease."
In the manuscript, the researchers explore the science behind time-restricted eating, recent clinical studies and the scope for future research to better understand its health benefits. Recent research has revealed that genes, hormones and metabolism rise and fall at different times of the 24-hour day. Aligning our daily habit of when we eat with the body's internal clock can optimize health and reduce the risk or disease burden of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease and liver disease.
"Eating at random times breaks the synchrony of our internal program and make us prone to diseases," said Panda. "Intermittent fasting is a lifestyle that anyone can adopt. It can help eliminate health disparities and lets everyone live a healthy and fulfilling life."

The Obesity Code by Jason Fung is eye opening.
Yes, 1-2 lbs a week seems to be about optimum. I call 1 lb a week slow weight loss.
Congrats! I found this is the simplest way to eat and still lose weight. I eat whatever I want....once a day. Including dessert occasionally.
A minimum of a 12 hour “fast” is needed to allow the brain to turn on simple housecleaning of plaques that built up during the day.
.,,,
I’ve read of many benefits of fasting ...but
this is the first time I’ve read that fasting—beginning at 12 hours— enables the “housecleaning of plaques”
Can you cite where you have read that.
It does work well. I am in a dilemma sometimes. Like if somebody quits smoking for 6 months. You deserve a reward for that! How about a cigarette?
There are generally only two states the body is in “Fed” and “Fasted”, it takes roughly twelve hours after the last meal to enter the fasted state. That might even be overly optomistic with people on a “normal diet”
Importantly that’s (only) when the body can start burning fat for fuel, after glucose reserves in bloodstream, muscles and liver is exhausted.

Intermittent fasting is proving to be one of the most powerful ways to overcome Alzheimer's. This fasting trend is sweeping the nation, and indeed eating within a 12-hour window is enough to reap the brain-health powers of a daily fasting window.

Good news: When patients are keto-adapted you don't have to fast as long as Grandma Rose did. She fasted for over forty days. You don't even have to fast 24 hours. By establishing a ‘fasting window’ of 12 hours every day (this includes 8 hours while you sleep), you benefit from your body's recycling system. In fact, fasting can change the way you age.

Dr. Axe, who I trust A TON, points to a study showing that autophagy ramps up after 12 hours: Read the study here.
And KEY POINT here, AGAIN, autophagy is always occurring in the cells…it's just that fasting speeds up the “spring cleaning”!!! 😉

You want to change from lipitor to crestor. google jupiter study 2012. the problem with lipitor is that it doesn’t reduce inflammation. crestor reduces inflammation. consequentlythe death rates for people on lipitor are much higher than crestor
I’ll look into it, thanks. I do know my way around research studies. Learned statistics studying biotech investment for many years.
I had seen the nurse practitioner maybe 6 months ago to get clearance for a minor surgery. She said my kidney enzyme numbers were close to too high so of my own volition I stopped the lipitor. Last month saw the cardiologist and he said “no, I don’t know what she said to you but your numbers are fine I really want you back on the lipitor”. I was going to ask him about switching to crestor but got distracted in the other matters. I asked him if I could take a lower dose and he said no the dose you’re on is working good”.
But as you said, they are only looking at test result measurements on a computer screen and not much else.
