    The effect on insulin resistance is mostly due to a caloric deficit / lowering of circulating triglycerides, but I think there is a study showing a slight advantage with IF, so you’re right on that one, but it’s not really a huge difference.

    Interesting about the lunches! Are you sure though that it isn’t a food intolerance you’re dealing with? Often when people cut out foods and say they feel better it’s because they’re not eating a food that bothers them.

      Yes I’m sure. I’m one of the longest cared for patient by a top immunologist professor.

      I can wait just about anything during breakfast and dinner. And I don’t technically fast. I have snacks here and there. And I might have an apple with a slice of cheese for “lunch” every so often. But the reduction of intake during the day makes a huge difference.
