That's the key part:
> In conclusion, there is no robust evidence that intermittent fasting produces additional clinical benefits, compared to healthy and regular eating patterns. Instead, there is some evidence that delaying eating increases the risk of developing episodes of overeating and binge eating. For these reasons, it is inappropriate to recommend intermitting fasting as a healthy eating practice.
So "no robust evidence" vs. "some evidence". I wonder what the difference of these two indicated levels of evidence is and how it could be measured by any sort of KPI.
All in all, it reads more like a strong opinion than anything that is clearly backed up for any side.
Disclosure: I am on non-regular 8/16 IF diet. And I have to admit that I tend to binge-eat at times before my shift starts.
