"A study of over 20,000 adults found that those who followed an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule, a type of intermittent fasting, had a 91% higher risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

People with heart disease or cancer also had an increased risk of cardiovascular death.

Compared with a standard schedule of eating across 12-16 hours per day, limiting food intake to less than 8 hours per day was not associated with living longer."

Came across this a couple of days ago in a German Newspaper (paywall bypass), I found this a bit strange:

»Good data basis - but not for this question

Prof. Dr. Tilman Kühn, Professor of Public Health Nutrition at the University of Vienna, comments: "The NHANES study, which the authors used, is very good in principle - but unfortunately it does not record interval fasting." The pure time data for food intake on individual days, as recorded there, is only suitable for assessing the effects of intermittent fasting to a very limited extent.

The study could therefore not show that intermittent fasting increases the risk of death. "The results of the study only show that people who ate their meals within less than eight hours on two randomly selected days had a higher risk of dying from a cardiovascular cause. However, intentional intermittent fasting was not investigated in the study."

Why people only ate within eight hours on these selected days remains completely unclear. It could, for example, be because they were so unwell that they could no longer eat. In this case, the disease itself could also increase the risk of death.«

For me intermittent fasting always worked great, but diets are all very subjective I guess and without a bit of excercise... ¯\(ツ)

Edit: Arm surgery

If you don't eat breakfast it's not that hard for the rest of the eating to fall within 8 hours

Or if you eat your breakfast fairly late and dine early

Intermittent fasting works really well for people like me who tend to binge eat at night. If I can’t eat at night, that eliminates the binging.

Thanks, I think the surgery was successful!

Lost 30lbs so far myself. I do gorge at night, though. Might not be good for bird eaters.
