“There's been a series of conflicting observational studies that either show or don't show (depending on which one you're looking at) a link between saturated fat consumption and heart disease.”

“Breath-based measurements showed a lower respiratory exchange ratio (a measure that reflects fat versus carbohydrate use) without changes in total calories burned. This pattern was clear during the day and more modest after the standardized meal.”

“More than half of the participants on the low-carb, high-fat diet had at least some ketones in their urine by six weeks into the diet until the end and this correlated with improved memory. It is thought that people with Alzheimer's disease have problems using glucose as energy in the brain.”

“Supplement timing matters most when it changes absorption, tolerance, or adherence. Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains that consistency is the foundation, while meal composition can be useful for fat-soluble nutrients.”

“An isocaloric low-carbohydrate diet given to obese humans with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease resulted in decreased liver fat, improved lipid metabolism, and reduced inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers after two weeks (pilot study with 10 people).”

“Strength and muscular endurance gains were similar across most measures, except for the squat: The FED group improved squat strength by ~4 kg more than TRE. TRE yielded more favorable outcomes in fat mass reduction, even in a surplus—suggesting a potential recomposition benefit.”

“Acute sleep loss in humans leads to a gain in fat mass and loss of muscle mass due to a disrupted circadian clock that dysregulates metabolism in adipose tissue and decreases structural proteins in skeletal muscle.”

“The ketogenic diet is contraindicated in people with pancreatitis, fat metabolism disorders, and other rare metabolic conditions. Some people carry a version of the apolipoprotein E gene called APOE4 – a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.”

“Time-restricted eating (breakfast 90 min later and dinner 90 min earlier) for 10 weeks resulted in improved blood glucose levels and twice as much fat loss than people who ate their meals as normal.”
