Fasting Evidence

Protokol

Tidsbegrænset spisning og 16:8

Den mest populære faste-protokol har den mindst overbevisende kontrollerede evidens. Det er værd at vide, før du lægger hele din tilværelse om efter den.

Studiet, der punkterede 16:8

Den mest rendyrkede test af tidsbegrænset spisning gav begge grupper det samme foreskrevne kalorieindtag og varierede kun, om spisningen var afgrænset til et vindue [9]. Over tolv måneder var vægttabet ens i begge arme. Fordi kalorierne var ens, isolerer designet selve vinduet — og vinduet bidrog kun lidt.

Det har betydning, fordi de fleste positive studier af tidsbegrænset spisning ikke kontrollerer indtaget. Når man beder folk om kun at spise mellem klokken 12 og 20, spiser de mindre. Vægttabet er reelt; fejlen er at tilskrive det cirkadian biologi i stedet for det mindre indtag.

Ingen ekstra effekt ved ens kalorieindtag

Hvor det rent faktisk gør nytte

To randomiserede studier i kliniske populationer er mere opmuntrende. Hos voksne med metabolisk syndrom forbedrede tidsbegrænset spisning udfaldene i forhold til standardbehandling [7]. Hos voksne med type 2-diabetes gav det vægttab i en randomiseret sammenligning [8]. Og et studie, der kombinerede en lavkulhydrat-tilgang med tidsbegrænset spisning, rapporterede ændringer i vægt og tarmmikrobiom [6].

En systematisk oversigt over tidsbegrænset spisning kombineret med træning fandt bedre kropssammensætning og metaboliske udfald end hver for sig [2] — i overensstemmelse med det generelle princip, at det, du gør inden i vinduet, betyder mere end vinduet selv.

Sådan rangerer protokollerne i forhold til hinanden

Bemærk, at rækkefølgen afspejler, hvor stort et underskud hver protokol skaber. Det er hele historien i én tabel. Mere om 5:2 og alternate-day.

Praktiske noter

  • Tidligere vinduer kan være bedre end senere. Se måltidstidspunkter — det er den del af den cirkadiane historie, der faktisk holder.
  • Protein er den begrænsende faktor. To måltider gør det sværere at nå et proteinmål end tre. Planlæg det, i stedet for at satse på det bedste.
  • Sort kaffe, te og vand bryder ikke noget relevant. Den metaboliske definition af at "bryde en faste", der har betydning for vægttab, er kalorier.
  • Forlæng ikke vinduet for at kompensere for en dårlig dag. Længere vinduer har ikke vist sig at give ekstra effekt, og efterlevelse er det, der tæller her.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål

Er 16:8 bedre end 14:10?
Et randomiseret studie sammenlignede 16:8 med 14:10 og en kontrolgruppe på vægt og metaboliske udfald, og forskellene mellem de to vinduer var ikke dramatiske. Underskuddet betyder mere end de præcise timer.
Har spisevinduets længde overhovedet betydning?
Kun i den udstrækning, det ændrer, hvor meget du spiser. Ved ens kalorieindtag fandt NEJM-studiet stort set ingen selvstændig effekt [9].
Skal jeg springe morgenmad eller aftensmad over?
Den cirkadiane evidens taler svagt for at spise tidligere, hvilket betyder at springe aftensmaden over snarere end morgenmaden. Efterlevelse peger som regel den anden vej. Se måltidstidspunkter.
Er det sikkert på lang sigt?
For de fleste raske voksne, ja. Der er væsentlige undtagelser — se sikkerhed.
