A bigger dinner decreases parasympathetic activity leading to less restorative sleep
Clunky title, I know. The study was comparing two different kcal distributions on autonomic nervous system activity and sleep (Tada et al., 2018). [Patron link] There were two conditions in this randomized crossover trial: breakfast/lunch/dinner calories either as 1:2:1 (the … Continue reading

“The Danger of Being an Owl” — sounds scary, right?

Intermittent fasting is homeopathy-level #nothingsauce
From all of the published human studies and “n=1’s” I’ve seen on online forums, intermittent fasting is #nothingsauce. Don’t @ me. [Patron link] When people lose weight via IF, it’s because of caloric restriction. There’s no metabolic advantage, and if … Continue reading
