I wonder if this study accounted for the type of food.
I'm going to guess that the 8H group was more likely to eat a keto/carnivore diet because they have the discipline/awareness to do a fast so they should know about keto/carnivore diets and be able to stick to them.
I also wonder if the 8H group was less healthy on average to begin with - that's why they're trying an 8H fast to get healthier.
- pytonslange 3y agoThis was a post hoc analysis of self report eating patterns from pre 2018. I don’t think the respondents were following specific diets, was even IF a thing then? One could assume the 8-hour group does include a people that skip breakfast, and binge out on junk later with no plan of eating healthy. It does not seem like the authors made even the slightest effort to control for any confounds.
