Very interesting. Timing matters. Given that most people find it harder to avoid eating at night time, it seems curious that our bodies are more capable of handling food earlier in day versus evening.
Perhaps more accurate to say that afternoon biased intermittent fasting probably does..... But if you fast from noon to 6 am the next morning and eat, to you fix your glucose spike concern?
Hi Carter, Yes, in that case, there should be less metabolic perturbance. In fact, early time-restricted feeding is associated with improvements in glucose and lipid metabolism, even without weight loss. It is the opposite effect of delayed time-restricted feeding.

Valid criticisms of the criticisms, Kevin. Nice breakdown.
Hi Brady,
Thank you for the comment. By the way, you are doing great work on your substack.
