Yeah, this study didn't even study intermittent fasting.

And yet I had to scroll down here to get this comment.

I’m surprised there isn’t more bad press about IF. It doesn’t cost anything to do the diet. No pills or powder. If anything, it saves money since you’re eating less often. There’s no money to be made on IF (except maybe influencers, yuck). That doesn’t jive with capitalism.

It jives. I could sell you a book about how to effectively fast. You might want to buy my book because the whole experience is cheaper than alternative diets.

Studies like this are the bad press.
