No. The court's decision was what a non-expert jury of peers was convinced of by lawyers. The lawyers' jobs are not to help the jury reach the truth, but to do anything legal to win for their clients, including torturing both fact

Generally would be taken to mean you had a meal at night then go to sleep. then the following day eat nothing and go to sleep. Eat normally when you wake. Eating one meal a day even breakfast would be considered a 23-1 intermittent fasting

I'm not sure why you would want to restrict calories in your case? Even if the work on fasting from animal models carries over to humans beyond the benefits of reducing metabolic syndrome (which is unclear), being underweight is defini

I reckon efficient swimming is too complex a process for spontaneous innervation to be responsible. A fresh dead and pithed fish might flop, and might even flop several times in a row but that's about as far as it goes. E.g. Just a cha

Yes, although it probably does have some role in swimming efficiency due to obviating lift generation to get from a to be at the same depth. OTOH especially for laterally compressed fishes, there is a metabolic cost of all the paired and me

Besides energy saving behaviour, the metabolic rate has been depressed due to the physicochemical effects of cold, typically a reduction of 2-3x per 10 degrees. In terms of having enough energy, energy stores accrued during summer and autum
