Early time restrictive feeding, a sort of type of fast

I'm sure I read something about a study on this a couple of months back where the outcome wasn't particular convincing that either method was any better.

The reality is really down to what make up of diet a person has and what activity they have during the day. For instance if you eat in the morning, exercise during the day and fast during the night it's possible that it will eventually lead to fatigue (As the body requires storing energy in fat to be burnt up through exercise). This actually meant that eating in the afternoon/evening, allowing sleep to store the energy and then exercising in the morning appeared to have greater control over sugar levels since sleep actually lowers digestive actions (so technically you complete your digestion in the morning anyway).

Edit:
Dr Michael Mosley, BBC Wrote:It's January, which means you may have stood on the scales and decided to go on a diet. But what sort?

For many years, low-carb diets have been in fashion - based on the belief that eating lots of carbohydrates, particularly in the form of sugary treats such as white bread, rice or pasta, is bad for your waist and for your blood-sugar control.
The reasoning is that if you eat lots of carbohydrates and sugars, particularly the sort without fibre that get quickly absorbed, they will rapidly push up your blood glucose (sugar) levels.
Unless you burn this glucose off by doing exercise, your pancreas will pump out lots of the hormone insulin to bring these levels back down to normal.
It does this by storing the excess sugar from the carbs as fat. Too much stored fat, particularly visceral fat (inside the abdomen) can lead to serious health problems such as type-2 diabetes.
As well as concern about the amount of carbs we eat, people also worry about when they get eaten.
It's widely believed, for example, that eating carbs in the evening is worse for you than having them for breakfast.
That's because first thing in the morning your body is raring to go and should soon burn up the glucose released from the carbs. When you eat late at night your body is preparing to sleep, so the body should take longer to clear it.
That's the theory. But is it really true?

...

So what did we find?

Well, there was a clear winner. And it wasn't the one I was expecting.
When the researchers tested the volunteers on the day after a run of high-carb breakfasts and low-carb dinners, they found their average blood glucose response was 15.9 units.
This was roughly as predicted.
But when they did the same tests after five days of low-carb breakfasts and high-carb dinners?
Remarkably, their average glucose response went down to 10.4 units, which was considerably lower than we were expecting.
So what happened? Well, it could be that what matters is not so much when you eat your carbs but the length of the carbs-free "fasting" period that precedes your meal.
If you've had a big gap since your last carb-rich meal, your body will be more ready to deal with it.
That happens naturally in the mornings because you've had the whole of the night, when you were asleep, in which to "fast".
But our small study suggests that if you go low-carb for most of the day, that seems to have a similar effect.
In other words, after a few days of low-carb breakfasts and high-carb dinners your body becomes trained for this - it becomes better at responding to a heavy carb load in the evening.

I'm pretty sure no one in this household could handle a 3 p.m. cut-off point (especially given a usual time of circa two hours earlier being the actual last meal that would likely be possible). Have to keep relying on daily exercise and having one of those magical "skinny gut microbiomes" of opportunistic marketing practices. Not placing much hope in the latter being the cause of any avoidance of excessive weight and Type II diabetes, so back to eroding an ever deeper path walking up and down the steep hill multiple times. [Instead of the tagalong dog going "pant, pant, pant" during warmer weather it usually seems to be me.]

I've been focusing more on low caloric density vegetables (relatively a lot of fiber).  Unfortunately the most palatable things are the least healthful.

I'm viewed as some kind of paleological relic around here. Two servings of microwaved but otherwise unprocessed vegetables with each meal, along with raw fruit. Only time I ever rarely consume potatoes and gravy anymore (or potatoes in any form) is when dining somewhere else (and that's all they offer in terms of plant matter, aside from possibly salad).

I think it's important nowadays to help ride out the relatively meager funding for treating the causes of age related ailments and general health decline.
