7. I just read this and thought, "I should probably have a snack . . ."

I've been doing 16/8 on and off for awhile. Conscientiously for probably the last six months. I naturally incline toward it anyway, since half the time I have a 16 oz coffee I sip all morning before getting actually hungry around noon. Right now, it's 1:40pm, and I just realized I haven't eaten yet today.

Welp.

It's one study, but 20,000 people. I'll have to dig into it. Because there's a question in who's doing it. I read through and saw the cancer patients and heart disease people. But I'm thinking more along the lines of obesity, pre-diabetic, etc. The average age in the study is 49. By then, people can often have pre-existing problems. Are those people more likely to actively seek to do 16/8 to improve health than people who are already relatively healthy/fit?

But . . . I think I'll go make some tuna anyway.
