I don’t find this article especially convincing: - I am entirely unsurprised that starving a random group of people for 6 hours led to overeating at a buffet but I’m not sure this result can be extended to mean that IF doesn’t work. - he does say that there is evidence that there are studies that it works in the short to medium term, implying but not saying that it doesn’t also work in the long term. - he conflates IF with all other dieting and then refers to studies that say dieting doesn’t work. That’s crazy broad. Eating within your calorie budget with the right nutrients is also a “diet” if you want to stretch meanings. - mentioning IF as a cancer treatment up front is a little disingenuous. Presumably there are folk who ascribe a great deal of benefits to IF that should be treated with some scepticism and that’s ok. If all it does is help some people manage their weight, awesome. It doesn’t need to also treat cancer. - it’s great that there is evidence that regular meals and CBT-E works. Doesn’t mean other things don’t. I’d like someone to do a study on the impact of articles like this. Any kind of eating discipline is entirely mental, so if you’re going to create doubt, it’s probably a good idea to be careful with your arguments.
