The day that soysausage even starts to sound delicious to me, I’m having my hearing checked by the best ear Dr. in the nation.

This is a very interesting, early study (includes video) on the effects of eating throughout the day versus eating only during a limited time period. One group of mice could eat any time while a genetically equivalent group could only eat over 8 hours each day; in effect fasting for 16 hours a day. Both groups consumed the same number of high fat calories.

“After 100 days, the mice who ate fatty food frequently throughout the day gained weight and developed high cholesterol, high blood glucose, liver damage and diminished motor control, while the mice in the time-restricted feeding group weighed 28 percent less and showed no adverse health effects despite consuming the same amount of calories from the same fatty food. Further, the time-restricted mice outperformed the ad lib eaters and those on a normal diet when given an exercise test.”

Granted, it’s only mice.

If I could eat pork, I’d be all over that Egg McMuffin like white on rice!

Well the Cliff’s bar seems to be pretty good, but maybe not that filling. The egg mcmuffin would probably good, but that depends on whether there’s actual food in it rather than it being someone’s FDA/Monsanto science project with unknown GMO’s in it.

I eat both. Egg McMuffin is a working man’s eggs Benedict and very satisfying. Clif Bars are for when you’re on a long bike ride and you HAVE to eat something that you can quickly digest and give you immediate energy. Or, I suppose, a long run, which I don’t do. They’re far tastier than other energy bars I’ve ever had, but Clif Bars (named after the developer’s Dad, I believe) are NOT meant to replace a real meal.

Have you tried Kind Bars? They are real big out West, getting pretty big here too. If you like nuts and fruit in your bars, these are delicious.

This is your weirdest topic ever, DM. No opinion: I’ve not tried either. Just give me a large cafe au lait.
