Re: intermittent fasting
Jeff,
Can you find research that is pertinent? After briefly reading through them, I think the longest study was 4 weeks, while the shortest was 6 days. That strikes me as utterly and totally pointless. In addition most of the diets aren't similar to what someone would eat (the thermic effect of protein is higher than with cards or fats, perhaps this would interesting to see if it matters how often you are fed protein or not). Lastly, some of the studies cover adult females eating 1000 calories a day... With a bunch of fat women... I doubt you'd be able to pick the difference out between the ones that ate 800 cals a day and 1000 cals a day with statistical significance over the time period.
These studies strike me as poorly constructed and not pertinent to the issue at hand. IIRC there are equal studies discussing PWO nutrition in the same light over equal time frames.
