I can 100% vouch for this, roughly 90 days ago I implemented: * 16h+ intermittent fasting * increased exercise (>600kcal Apple Watch active kcal) * caloric restriction (average of 450kcal deficit). I lost 20lbs in 90 days (5ft5in 145 -> 125). I've since gone to a full ketogenic diet as an n=1 experiment. I find the research on this lacking, but fascinating -- its been a very educational experience. Based on the many papers I've read, and talks I've listened to, it seems like society's current ailments of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease (and maybe Alzheimers) tie back to excess carbohydrate consumption leading to hyperinsulinemia. Re: this paper -- they cite that "Mice fed a high‐fat diet ad libitum develop obesity, elevated plasma glucose, insulin and leptin levels, and impaired glucose tolerance" However, reading the source for that, the diet of those mice was: "18% protein, 61% fat, 21% carbohydrates" -- probably still too many carbs.
