How does 10 hours of eating and 14 hours of fasting translate to humans? The life span of a mouse is much smaller than humans amd their metabolic rate is higher

How does 10 hours of eating and 14 hours of fasting translate to humans? The life span of a mouse is much smaller than humans amd their metabolic rate is higher, 4 times that of humans. So I wonder if that would mean a much longer eating window and fasting window for humans.

- sharmi 8y agoYes, but the effect of food restriction have more pronounced effect in mice vs humans. So, we cannot expect the same efficacy in humans when fasting for the same periods. """ Fasting of mice for 48 h (which causes ∼20% weight loss) or starvation of human volunteers for up to 4 d (which causes <2% weight loss) """ [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28059587 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28059587
