Review of the supplemental from @ethanjweiss lead to some interesting findings.

EXERCISE:
The late TRF group had decreased activity, daily movement, METS, steps, high activity, training frequency and training volume

The TRF group exercised less! Much less!

1/4
SLEEP:
They also had worsened sleep timing/efficiency & more awake time

This could be an issue with meal timing close to sleep. eTRF versus lateTRF

2/4
HEAD SCRATCHERS...literally

Interestingly, the HEAD AREA of the TRE group also shrunk (statistical significance) 🤔

Also TRE preferentially decreases right arm lean mass 🤔

I talked with Dr. Weiss to access the data to correlate LBM with BIA, stay tuned

3/4
Bottom line: data looks interesting

My takeaway, 12-16 hours of eating the standard diet isn’t that much better than eating 8 hours of the standard diet.

It’s possible meal timing and late eating can lead to poor sleep quality & somehow decreased exercise.

4/4
5/5

Most people don’t know the real results of the Minnesota Starvation Study…

A new review in Nature Reviews Endocrinology exposes what calorie restriction really does to the body.

While it may extend lifespan in rodents, the human data is less clear—and the downsides are serious.

Here’s what the science actually shows:

Wound healing slows down.
Cut your hand while calorie restricted? It’ll heal slower.

CR reduces collagen production, growth factors, and immune cell infiltration. Refeeding reverses it… but only after damage is done.
