Not only that, but half of the paragraphs reference at least one social justice trope, including, ironically, redlining, which supposedly disproportionately urbanized minority populations by keeping them out of newer suburban developments--but those newer suburban developments were inherently less walkable, weren't they? https://www.npr.org/2017/05/03/526655831/a-forgotten-history...
First, you're not "probably currently somewhere in the area of 6-7%" bodyfat--6-7% is a minicut away from 5-6%, which is stage-ready levels of bodyfat for natural bodybuilders, and they only drop to that a few times a year (because of muscle loss and the inability to build muscle). But the rest of your comment is worth taking in for those who are overweight or obese and still have reservations about these drugs, or about using drugs at all for weight management. The influencers selling you discipline, diet, exercise, and the rest as the ticket to achieve lasting weight loss are already on these drugs. If you have serious weight issues (which these people don't), why aren't you? (I say this as someone who has never used any drug for weight loss, except being a bit of a caffeine junkie.)
> For RT-induced muscle hypertrophy in healthy young men, consuming a protein-enriched meal at breakfast and less protein at dinner while achieving an adequate overall PI is more effective than consuming more protein at dinner. This study was registered at University hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000037583
RT = resistance training, PI = protein intake. While total protein intake is most important, protein timing and distribution still matters for muscle (contrary to what's propounded in fasting and time-restricted feeding circles), and according to this study, even if the distribution is spaced out, if it's skewed toward dinner, that appears to be sub-optimal.
> Despite comparable weight gain after 49 days, this double-blind trial showed that overeating energy from PUFAs prevented deposition of liver fat and visceral and total fat compared with SFAs. Excess energy from SFAs caused an increase of liver fat compared with PUFAs. Further, the inhibitory effect of PUFAs on ectopic fat was accompanied by an augmented increase in lean tissue and less total body fat deposition compared with SFAs. Thus, the type of fat in the diet seems to be a novel and important determinant of liver fat accumulation, fat distribution, and body composition during moderate weight gain. We also observed fatty acid–dependent differences in adipose tissue gene expression. The significant decrease in pancreatic fat in both groups during weight gain was an unexpected finding that needs confirmation due to the low amounts of pancreatic fat in this lean population.
ITT: cope. Even if you still believe there are benefits to TRF that aren't just due to losing weight (and note that TRF causes a disproportionate amount of muscle-loss, not fat-loss, when used as a weight-loss tool: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...), Satchin Panda, arguably the foremost researcher in this field, has been unequivocal that early TRF is much worse than late TRF (i.e., skipping breakfast instead of skipping dinner) for metabolic health, probably due to circadian misalignment, so I don't see why you all find this result so surprising.
Apparently none of you have heard of Dr. Panda, which means you've done barely any research into any of this, and yet you're still smugly confident that TRF/IF are safe and healthy? Enough to nit-pick the studies saying otherwise, and downvote and flag those posting them?
