It's insane that we can't even be sure. Across my RSS feed, in back to back entries: - Intermittent fasting a great boost to fat burning and weight maintenance - Skipping breakfast makes you gain weight Now, I know the gist of why intermittent fasting can work. And if you read into the skipping breakfast article with a lot of background info they don't provide you can pretty much tell their measure group was people who skipped breakfast and probably had a shitty habits around diet and excercise as well. But if I'm just casually trying to figure out what normal and healthy are, here are two articles that present research that come to conclusions that (on the surface) are completely opposed, but neither is technically wrong. Fat was the cause of all problems. Sugar is the new tobacco. Tobacco was recommended by doctors for energy. Sitting is the new smoking. Standing will kill you. Red meat will give you a heart attack. Omega 3 is essential for a million things. Fish oil pills are, well, snake oil. MCT is the new fish oil. Coconut and palm harvesting contribute to global warming. Brown rice is healthier than white. White rice has a lower glycemic index. What the heck are we supposed to do?
