Alternate Day Fasting: How Good Is It For Your Health?

Really confused researchers alert!

"Krista Varady and colleagues studied the effects of alternate-day fasting on 24 male mice for four weeks. To assess the impact of ADF on the health of the mice, the scientists not only tested mice that followed and didn't follow an ADF diet, but they also studied mice that followed the diet only partially: a group of mice consumed 50 percent of their regular diet every other day (ADF-50%) and another consumed 75 percent of their regular diet every other day (ADF-25%)."

Okay.

"The scientists noticed that the mice that followed the complete ADF diet (ADF-100%) lost weight and that the fat cells of both the ADF-100% and ADF-50% groups shrunk by more than half and by 35 percent, respectively. Also, in these two groups of mice, fat under the skin but not abdominal fat was broken down more than in mice that did not follow the diet."

So they lost weight on the complete ADF diet. Got it.

"These results suggest that complete and modified ADF regimens seem to protect against obesity and type 2 diabetes but do not result in fat or weight loss."

So they did not lose weight on the complete ADF diet.

Huh? What's with that?

Which is it?

Then there is the fat cell shrinking thing.

If they did not lose fat, where did it go?

BTW, the research never answers the question "Alternate Day Fasting: How Good Is It For Your Health?":

"More studies will be needed to confirm whether the long-term effects of ADF regimens are beneficial for health and reduce disease risk, the scientists conclude."

Deceptive people.

Folks, gotta stop funding this trash.
