Scientists have been studying its neurologic, anti-inflammatory and cardiac effects of IF - FOR DECADES. They even think it has potential to prevent Alzheimer’s, which IF devotees often call Type III diabetes.
I'd be curious to know if the lack of calories is the main driver of the benefit or if it's eliminating a glucose spike.
Anybody trying to improve their metabolic health should wear a CGM for a month or two. I was very surprised at what foods did what, and it's not remotely the same for everybody.

I think it’s the combination of both. The fasting helps regulate your insulin. Basically it’s work to digest food. It spikes insulin, and if you don’t give yourself time to run thru the process- your insulin remains elevated. So - It’s particularly beneficial if you not only fast to give your body the time to process your meals.
It’s crucial to make sure that you’re eating nutritious foods in your window. The most nutritious ones are “anti-inflammatory” in that they focus on good fats, good carbs, (with limited added sugars), and proteins.
I once had a doc tell me during the Covid idiocy that we think of fat as just sitting there - but in fact - it’s “inflammation” which is toxic and harmful to us. Thats why overweight people were more likely to die of Covid bc their bodies are already in an inflammatory state.
You’ll lose weight just by intermittent fasting bc of the reduced calories- but you’ll become more healthy by also making sure that you’re nourishing your body when you’re eating, because you’ll lose weight and inflammation.

There is a guy on IG (eddie abbew) who wears a monitor. Also does IF and his main talking point is zero sugar and to stop eating most processed foods. His diet is eggs, meat and some vegetables. He is a former bodybuilder (maybe Mr. Olympia??) and is older now and tries to get people to stop eating "shite". I think saying shite is his favorite word...
