Distinction between one meal day schedules and Alernate Day Fasting

[Guest guest]

From the data I've seen there does seem to be a positive effect of

ADF eating schedules as opposed to " one meal a day schedules " that

removes calorie restriction as a variable.

One meal a day schedules seem to offer no advantages over CR on a

multiple meal schedule other than the amount of CR involved. See (1)

Also 1 meal/day schedules might be determintal if calories are not

restricted. See the much recently discussed Mattson study. BUT most

people will eat less (unless forced other wise, as done in the recent

study) on a one meal a day schedule

One the other hand, ADF schedules, with little or no CR have recently

been shown to have a comparable effect on " cell proliferation "

comparable to CR 25 or 30. See (2),(3, (4). Also there is data

concerning ADF schedules that show highly positve resulte on

oxidative and inflammatory markers (5)

This recent research is under unappreciated on this group. I believe

there is more to come from human studies in the works.
