If there’s one thing the fitness industry preys on, it’s the desperation and lack of knowledge in people looking to lose body fat — and the evil shills at T-Nation are no exception.A few days ago they posted an article on the ridiculous idea to boost your metabolic rate while sleeping to burn a tiny little bit of extra energy.

About a week ago, I covered another study showing how important it is not to eat in the evening or close to going to bed as having your last meal earlier in the day improved sleep onset, total sleep time, and sleep quality by quite extreme measures.

Today we return to Examine.com and a summary of another totally idiotic, backwards-thinking and unnecessary trial proving that researchers and the monkeys of today practicing “modern science” might just be the stupidest people on Earth. Let’s see what they f**ked up this time… Quick Summary “In this 12-month randomized controlled trial in 77 adults with obesity, researchers looked at differences in sleep parameters due to either time-restricted eating or calorie restriction.” Well, if time-restricted
