“we have historically meaning in our practice cautioned people about excessive use of time restriction if people fit a certain demographic and that is you are obviously overnourished which is our way of describing you have excess at a Poss you have high visceral fat all of these things you're metabolically unhealthy so you're overnourished we need to make you less nourished but if you're also under muscled I get very worried about excessive time restriction because with calorie restriction comes protein restriction and with protein restriction comes not just a reduction in Mass which on some level is the goal but a disproportionate loss of lean mass”
