Yes looking forward to this lecture on intermittent fasting and does time of day matter. Here are types of intermittent east #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Intermittent fasting definitely shows benefits in animals! #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Here are the possible mechanisms of intermittent fasting #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Alternate day fasting —every other day you east for 24hrs May work but is not sustainable. I will not be using this #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Alternate day modified intermittent fasting (25% caloric intake# one day and 125% following day) maybe better for some secondary measures but not sustainable and conflicting results on if it is better for weight loss #AACE2021 #endotwitter

5:2 diet — 2 days eat a very low diet (25-35%) —results conflicting with half showing benefit and half not showing benefit #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Meta-analysis of intermittent fasting diets not sig for weight loss but benefit in insulin resistance and maybe hdl/trigs #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Never heard of this one—fasting mimicking diet. No comparisons to regular diet but compared to placebo it is beneficial in many parameters in addition to weight incl tumor reduction #AACE2021 #endotwitter

Weekly intermittent fasting —one week very low calorie and one week normal calorie. Original study showing good weight loss but overall not a lot of long term data #endotwitter #AACE2021

Here is the one I rec the most —time restricted intermittent fasting (fasting for 14+hrs daily). Benefits proportional to length of fast and doing it 5 days may be as good as 7 days #Endotwitter #AACE2021

16hr fast may help in multiple parameters of anovulatory pcos #Endotwitter #AACE2021

But eating later is not better and may actually be worse for cardio metabolic health! #Endotwitter #AACE2021

Glycemic control and glucose tolerance is much better in the morning then later in day. This graph shows results of ogtt performed in morning compared to evening #afternoonDiabetes #Endotwitter #AACE2021

A change (weakened or misalignment) to our circadian rhythm can make it harder to lose weight #obesity #AACE2021 #Endotwitter

Bottom line - eating at night (aka “out of sync with circadian rhythm”) is bad bad bad #Endotwitter #AACE2021 #obesity

Large breakfast and small dinner is better for weight loss and decreasing hunger #Endotwitter #obesity #AACE2021

Is skipping breakfast bad? Prob not unless u are also eating a late dinner. Bottom line don’t eat late dinner #AACE2021 #Endotwitter #obesity

In dr Peterson study intermittent fasting (time restricted) did not increase energy expenditure but it did increase fat burning and decrease hunger and glu levels #Endotwitter #AACE2021 #obesity

Number of meals per day does not matter for weight loss #obesity #Endotwitter #AACE2021

Eat your veggies and protein first and leave the carbs for last #Endotwitter #AACE2021

Phenomenal talk by Dr. Courtney Peterson on intermittent fasting and does time of day matter. If you missed it I would recommend going back to watch #AACE2021 #Endotwitter
