Eating only within an 8-Hour Daily Timeframe Results in Weight Loss

Here's the thing...none of us are living longer than 100 yrs of age. Most of us no longer than 90..I don't care how fit or muscular you are. Jack Lalanne died @96. Many not longer than mid 80's. Fitness dosen't lengthen lifespan, only prevents early death if at all. Caloric restriction is only way known to extend lifespan.

Fitness might not lengthen lifespan, but it does for sure improve the quality of life, especially in later years. Better health, less medical issues, no medical bills, they all add to an improved quality of life.
 
DEXA scans are the best for really seeing body composition but you cannot get it weekly to see what is going on (unless you are willing to pay up for it).

Not sure I can do the 8 hour time frame diet but on ketogenic there are times I miss a meal without realizing it.

OLY Snatch....wish I had more flexibility in my hips and shoulders..way behind you dest....
 
Anyone paying for a DEXA scan doesn't need it. Anyone needing it knows they're overweight.

I only try to improve my snatch now as it's such a technique movement. I don't lift for PRs beyond snatch.

My understanding is that it does increase lifespan at least in part because, as you alluded, it helps slow down the onset of age-related medical issues. Together with the quality of life thing, it's a no-brainer.

I was doing good for the first 4 weeks, strength was either the same or increasing slightly, but then last week I went into the workout knowing that I needed to, but not necessarily feeling like it... probably because I was already tired from the manual construction labor I was doing, and the results showed. I was weak as water. And I could tell on the first exercise, which was lat pulldown. On the prior workout, I was able to do 1 super-slow rep @ 160lbs on the 30-30-30 cadence, meaning you pull it down to your chest as the starting point, and then take 30 seconds to control the raise back up, 30 seconds to pull it down again, and then 30 seconds to let it back up once more. On this last work out, I pulled it down and then slowly let it rise for 30 seconds, but when I went to pull it down over a 30-second period back down to my chest, I couldn't even do it so I abandoned ship. From that point forward, I knew I was screwed so I immediately dropped all the weights on subsequent exercises by 20% just to make it through.

As you said, perhaps your performance suffered because you were run down from all of the other work you were doing. The 30-30-30 thing you describe sounds really-really-really unappealing. Is that how you normally do all of your exercises? I prefer a considerably faster cadence with continuous, controlled tension to minimize momentum as much as possible. However, for a few of my exercises I start with a few very slow reps (still considerably faster than yours) and then assume a more "normal" pace for the remainder of the set.

Some people swear by SuperSlow while some just swear at it. And I've read conflicting reports on its efficacy compared to a more typical, controlled pacing. So for me, it comes down to preference. Just curious, have you tested and compared your results from both approaches?

The only benefit is the 16 hours fasting impact on longevity.

I haven't thought of IF in terms of longevity. For my purposes, it is a useful means of reducing caloric intake. However, to the extent that it does impact on longevity, how would my more user-friendly 10-hour feeding window compare to an 8-hour one?
