Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached. RULES:If your comment is rude, you will be banned.If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:
Boost metabolism through fasting protocols
Since calories and activity were equal between groups, researchers speculate the fasting protocol worked by increasing the participants' metabolism.
Implement 36-hour quasi-fast for visceral fat loss
A study showed significant visceral fat loss from a 36-hour fast that uniquely allows for a single 400-calorie snack containing antioxidants and adaptogens.
Achieve double visceral fat loss with fasting and protein pacing
In just nine weeks, the fasting and protein pacing group lost double the amount of harmful visceral fat compared to a standard heart-healthy diet group.
Pair fasting with protein pacing for optimal results
The successful protocol combined weekly fasting with 'protein pacing,' which involves eating four to five smaller, high-protein meals on non-fasting days.
Achieve superior visceral fat loss beyond calories and insulin
The superior visceral fat loss from this protocol could not be explained by differences in calorie intake, physical activity, or even insulin levels.
Follow a 35% protein diet for balanced nutrition
On eating days, participants followed a specific macronutrient ratio of 35% protein, 35% carbohydrates, and 30% fat.
