The meta coming out of scientific experimentation has been showing that intermittent fasting is an effective tool for a number of dirt related disorders, including obesity. To see experimentation in this space is really exciting, along with further experimentation in actual dietary intake (such as vegetarian/vegan diets), it appears that a major source of energy expenditure, the Ford we eat, can be massively scaled back while improving our health and quality of life.
I've anecdotally watched the practice of intermittent fasting in the way described (but using a 8 hour window) improve the love of those around me and for preparation for athletic events otherwise. I hope that more analysis in this space allows people to live healthier and more meaningful lives.
