Agreed that we definitely need more research! Unfortunately it is still hard to get a definite answer of whether IF is effective for women because of the lack of research done on women. For now the best we can do is look at the studies we are given. I think it is important to mention how different men and women’s bodies are though. This is something that is often looked over when analyzing research and different health practices. Many people assume “one size fits all” when women’s bodies are much more complex than that lets on.
