Effects of eight weeks of time-restricted feeding (16/8) on basal metabolism, maximal strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors in resistance-trained males.
The overall tone reveals a balanced mix of support and skepticism, with posters citing examples like decreased testosterone, IGF-1, and T3 levels, and referencing scientific studies and methods such as resistance training and fasting windows. The tone varies from critical to inquisitive, reflecting genuine engagement and curiosity about the scientific validity and practical effects of the fasting protocols discussed.

Abstract in brief
The study examined the effects of an 8-week time-restricted feeding (TRF) protocol, where participants ate within an 8-hour window, on resistance-trained males, focusing on metabolism, strength, body composition, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors.
Results showed both TRF and normal diet groups maintained similar caloric intake and macronutrient distribution, but the TRF group consumed their calories in a shorter daily window, primarily at 1 pm, 4 pm, and 8 pm.
After 8 weeks, measurements of fat mass, muscle size, and various blood markers indicated how this fasting approach affected body composition, hormone levels, and inflammation, providing insights into its potential benefits or impacts for athletes.]

Fact of day 267: In young men, 16-8 #intermittentfasting plus resistance training lead to decreased fat mass as compared to a control group matched for calories and macros over two months. Both groups maintained muscle size and strength

Week 8 of Fat Loss Challenge
Weight is creeping up, but then muscle mass is going up more than body fat, so I'm good?
According to this study, people on TRF & resistance training lost ~16.4% of fat mass in 8 weeks while keeping muscle mass.
Onwards!

@hubermanlab Studies https://t.co/WPRhBzaJlO and https://t.co/vDxgD86GN1. mention that intermittent fasting decreases testosterone in resistance-trained males. Want to lose fat but not drop testosterone. Thoughts? Thanks for the podcast. I listen to you on all my runs.
@mjbop https://t.co/SbpMbOHiWW tens alguns feitos em ratos e alguns em humanos (e.g. https://t.co/BuFeAIg11B).
A afirmação de que “não há estudos sobre os benefícios de jejum prolongado em humanos” é falsa. Parem de espalhar desinformação.
The biological functions and mechanisms are crystal clear wrt stress and its affects on sperm counts.
The affects of IF on stress hormones are also well established.
Here's IF's affect on testosterone in healthy human males.

@mistrustme1 That is definitely important. What are you doing? 16/8 or 20/4 or something else? It might be good to take a break for a couple of days. I just watched this video that talked about BMR decrease if it is done continuously. The break may help your appetite.

Very interesting study on intermediate fasting (16/8) in young men doing resistance training.
It apparently reduces Testosterone and IGF-1 noticeably, although it's doesn't affect strength or body composition negatively.
