What a long day it was, again, procrastination has bitten me in the ass. I recently mentioned that I was going to be writing a research article on intermittent fasting. Well little did I know there has only been one research article written on human testings.
You see there are two main types of articles, research articles and review articles. Research articles are primary sources of information, the article is written by one of the individuals who actually conducted the experiment. On the other hand, we have review articles which is a secondary source of information meaning these articles were written taking information and findings from a research article.
There is so much that goes into research articles it is amazing. I simply thought I was going to be able to find 10 peer-reviewed research articles involving humans in regards to intermittent fasting. Needless to say that did not happen, I spent 12 hours in a chair looking for articles and only found one that would apply. Sadly I think I am going to have to change my topic to meet this professors requirements.
Something interesting did catch my eye while I was devouring the databases for articles I noticed that every article regarding intermittent fasting the mention of caloric restriction was also talked about. From the research I read it seems that combining a caloric restricted diet with times of intermittent fasting, the duration of life increases dramatically. Since I am at the coffee shop writing this on my tablet, I will see if I can dig up some of the articles to share with those of you whom are interested.
