Summary of Transcript:
The popularity of intermittent fasting has peaked, but world-renowned longevity researchers and clinical guidelines do not promote it. Calorie restriction in mice has been proven to increase adult lifespan, reduce disease burden, and delay functional decline in old age. Human studies on anti-aging diets, including intermittent fasting, generally fall under the calorie restriction umbrella, making it difficult to determine if there are further benefits to intermittent fasting alone compared to simply restricting calories. A study found that time-restricted eating did not produce additional benefits in reducing body fat or metabolic risk factors compared to calorie restriction alone when both groups ate the same amount of calories. Intermittent fasting and calorie restriction have the same adherence rates, which suggests that intermittent fasting does not significantly lower hunger levels compared to other dieting strategies. The potential side effects of intermittent fasting include loss of libido, sexual dysfunction, psychological problems, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, muscle weakness, increased susceptibility to infection, impaired wound healing, and social isolation. Intermittent fasting likely represents a sub-optimal dietary approach to remodel skeletal muscle, impacting the ability to maintain or enhance muscle mass and quality. However, cutting out late-night snacking and getting enough protein intake, evenly distributed across meals spaced three to four hours apart, appears to have benefits. The speaker personally eats breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper to reduce calorie intake in the afternoon and evening and prioritize the body’s energy for repair during sleep.

The Popularity of Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting has taken the world by storm in the past years, especially in January 2020, when it reached its peak. People are turning to this practice as a way to lose weight, boost their metabolism, and enhance their longevity. However, some experts do not endorse this practice, and clinical guidelines do not promote it. In this article, we will explore why world-renowned longevity researchers such as Professor Matt Kaeberlein do not do intermittent fasting, and what the harms of intermittent fasting are.
Why Do World-Renowned Longevity Researchers Not Do Intermittent Fasting?
Professor Matt Kaeberlein is one of the leading researchers in longevity, but he does not do intermittent fasting. He explains that while intermittent fasting can have some benefits, it can also have drawbacks. He highlights that intermittent fasting has not been thoroughly researched in humans, and the studies that have been conducted so far have been short-term and small-scale. Additionally, some studies indicate that intermittent fasting can lead to negative health effects, such as nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and lower energy levels.
What Do Clinical Guidelines Say About Intermittent Fasting?
According to clinical guidelines, intermittent fasting can be an effective way to lose weight, but it is not suitable for everyone. Clinical guidelines indicate that intermittent fasting can potentially increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies, low blood sugar, and dehydration. Additionally, people with diabetes, pregnant women, and individuals with a history of eating disorders should avoid intermittent fasting.
What Are the Harms of Intermittent Fasting?
Intermittent fasting can have several negative health effects, especially if not done correctly. Here are some of the potential harms of intermittent fasting:
Nutritional deficiencies: Intermittent fasting can lead to nutrient deficiencies, especially if a person is not eating a balanced diet during the eating periods. This can cause several health problems, such as fatigue, weakness, and anemia.
Lowered energy levels: Intermittent fasting can also lead to lower energy levels because the body is not getting enough calories to sustain its energy needs.
Hormonal imbalances: Intermittent fasting can affect the body’s hormonal balance, leading to problems such as irregular periods, mood swings, and acne.
Increased risk of dehydration: When a person is fasting, they are not getting enough fluids, which can lead to dehydration. This can cause headaches, fatigue, and dizziness.
Conclusion
Intermittent fasting has gained popularity in recent years, but it is not a magic solution for weight loss, metabolism boost, or longevity. World-renowned longevity researchers such as Professor Matt Kaeberlein do not endorse intermittent fasting, and clinical guidelines do not promote it. Intermittent fasting can have potential harms such as nutritional deficiencies, lowered energy levels, hormonal imbalances, and dehydration. Therefore, it is essential to consult with a medical practitioner before attempting intermittent fasting and ensure that it is done correctly and safely.
