SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone

HMB did matter, but not significantly; and fasted training was not involved in the extra-fat loss and improvement in body composition. While it has long been discussed if serious gainz are even possible on time-restricted feeding regimen, such as classic 'intermittent fasting',  SuppVersity readers have known for years that "New 'Lean Gains' Study Confirms: IF Gets Athletes Lean & Improves Insulin Sensitivity W/Out Impairing Their Gains" (➡ article discussing Moro 2016) - that's in men, though, and that, in turn, is one of several factors that make the latest study by Tinsley et al. (2019)  worth looking at. In their latest study, the Texas Tech University  researchers combined two research questions into one study: (a) Does time-restricted feeding  affect the adaptive response to resistance training women? (b) Can this effect be augmented and/or modulated by supplementing the leucine-metabolite HMB  during the fasting phases (and once in the ...

The great strength of the study, the leeway the subjects had in terms of what and how much they would eat would, is also an important weakness because it would require a much more thorough monitoring of their food intake to appropriately interpret all the results of this pilot study. As a SuppVeristy  reader, you're well aware of the health , physique , and performance benefits of (intermittent) fasting and/or eating in tune with your biological clocks  (#circadian rhythm). As a practitioner, you will also know that dietary changes, which may sound simple and easy to implement when you first hear about them, require giving up cherished habits and a lot of will-power, and discipline from yourself or your clients. The authors of a recent 10-week human study on 'time-restricted feeding', scientists from the University of Surrey ,   do now suggest that the changes you have to make to your dietary template don't have to be as extensive as the classic 16h/8h or 18h/6...
