"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."
This came across a few days ago and the consensus was that it’s likely showing that people who look for a diet might be at higher risk of cardiovascular death.
Exactly … I know a guy who eats intermittently over 24 sometimes 48 hours. He works in a factory as a manager but gets involved in everything because he’s been there for 30 years. He’ll go to work and run around continuously to the point where he just won’t take time to eat.
Thing is, when he gets home to actually eat, he eats terribly, drinks endless beers, guzzles coffee like water and is still overweight. He has a heart condition, sleep apnea and chronic acid reflux.
It’s not how or when you eat … it’s what you eat and the amount of what you eat.
