Fwiw there was a very recent study seeking to compare the longevity increases (in mice) from time-restricted eating vs calorie restriction. In this study, 100% of the benefit was due to time-restricted eating, none from calorie restriction. https://twitter.com/LammingLab/status/1450120927195406342?s=...

Dear content creators:

I don't know why people keep typing actual thoughts on Twitter: PLEASE STOP AND GET A BLOG. Nobody will read this, and this is actually important information that can save lives. Also, stop using clickbait headlines when presenting information; the correct headline for this example would be "Managing insulin levels naturally leads to longer lives with higher quality of life and less health problems".

That said, fellow HN addicts, switch to one meal a day (OMAD) like I did. My brain feels like its ten years younger, and my body more-so. Also, stop eating foods that are just made of empty filler, like refined carbs and refined vegetable oils, this also helps a ton and segues naturally into OMAD.

Thank you for your first paragraph. I don’t know why even respected people like John Carmack will make huge Twitter threads, like are they not self aware it’s unreadable and looks like an unorganized mess

Doesn’t that exact Twitter thread not advocate for OMAD because of the lack of evidence in human studies? (and what human studies there are for eating late in the day aren’t positive)

Agreed on the refined carbs & oils though.

Tons of people read tweet threads on Twitter, that’s why people and organizations do them. As an author or organization, it’s easy to measure and compare audiences between the two channels (Twitter and website) and see this.

The two channels are also not mutually exclusive. Tweet threads can get turned into articles if they get traction, or vice versa.

You've clearly indicated this, but I think it's worth highlighting because it's so crucial a caveat:

In Mice.
