People always think calories are a bad thing but what they don't realize is that muscles require calories in order to grow. Do you mind if i post this on my blog and give you a link back?

Say have one group that is allowed to anytime in a 3 hour window, and another that can eat any time during the day. This would avoid the problem with the meal size (and hence composition) in the OMPD group without, I think, affecting the validity of the results. Noel- This is one of the tough elements of studies like this. Interesting artifacts pop up like the OMPD folks had markedly lower cortisol levels than the TMPD but that was most likely due to the fact that the blood tests were performed early in the day for the TMPD folks (before eating) and late in the day for the OMPD folks (also before eating). Normally cortisol falls later in the day, but it's tough to discern what if any effect is due to the food, food timing or simply diurnal fluctuation in cortisol. Tweak one variable and everything can change just as a testing artifact.

I agree to the fact that people need to first eat healthy (aka Paleo) and worry about IF second. IF while eating crap (refined foods/sugars) will only lead to muscle loss and eventual failure of the IF lifestyle because of cravings and other factors. IF with Paleo is a win-win but Paleo alone when compared to IF on crap (IFOC I will term it as) probably gives more improved health markers. Most people need to start IF 1-2days a week while eating healthy and make sure their performance and body composition is not going backwards, otherwise something needs to be modified. Thanks MOD! That progression does seem to work well. Robb Good write up Robb. I agree to the fact that people need to first eat healthy (aka Paleo) and worry about IF second.

You start a clinical trial and I'll sign up as a guinea pig (squeak). Just let me know how much to bribe the coordinator to ensure I'm in one of the fasting groups. Brad Reminds me of something from Wren & Stimpy- "Squeak! Squeak I say!" It would be interesting to do a kitchen sink type of intervention...low carb, paleo foods, intermittent fasting or caloric restriction in a population of diabetics. Likely great results while in the metabolic ward, then it's back to the real world. It would however be nice to stack this against a protocol designed by one of the vegan docs, agree on what constitutes "good outcomes" then let the thing run, cross the folks over in 8 weeks. The info would be entirely outcome based but it would be telling. RW Nice write-up.
