Doc Says "Stop 16:8 Now" (Thomas DeLauer Show)
Today I'm going to share some thoughts about a video with a doctor who says "Stop doing 16:8" and address some of the confusion it causes.
Link to that is here: https://youtu.be/qQbrb9LGJOU
Honestly, I really like the video and encourage people to watch it. Would love to have a conversation with Thomas DeLauer and/or Dr. Schoeff about it, in the event some internet magic brings it to them.
I am going to suggest this framing is missing some nuance, but I love the broader point of the video that increasing fasting intensity can strongly impact visceral fat. I'm all for it. But saying 16:8 is meaningless is missing nuance.
Sincerely,
