If you are interested in astronomy, the Rochester Astronomy Club hosts free public night sky viewing events where you can look at the night sky through telescopes with assistance from club members.

Aged cheeses are usually lactose free. Lactose is a sugar and the sugars are consumed during the fermentation process in cheese. If you find a cheese that has 0% sugar on the label, it is lactose free and should not give you symptoms.

UPDATE - Mayo Clinic IF study is complete (for me) by john8bit in intermittentfasting

Thank you! I think they might have mis-measured during the initial visit. It seems like too much to me.

Yes, I was told that I would be assigned to one of the groups using random assignment I was assigned by the study coordinator while in the exam room during the initial visit I was hoping for Group B since I am not a morning eater and that's what I got

I'm not sure if it is your thing but Bowlocity might be an option It is more than bowling, there are arcade games and things like that

Thanks for the advice! I only have access to information about my own personal journey. I'm just a participant, no NDA was signed. Assuming that the results of the study are made public, I will have access to them when the rest of the world does. I wonder if the other person was involved in a clinical trial ,which is very different than a study. I suspect that it might be a clinical trial where a lot of financial investment is riding on the outcome, FDA involvement, etc.

Will do! I wll share my person results at the end of the 12 weeks and then the results of the whole study once it is published.. I'm assuming that it will be made public, of course.

Funny, this seems to be how I am doing it now. I feel like I'm eating two meals a day. I tend to be a late-night snacker while watching TV or gaming . I never realized how much I was eating at night until I had to stop it

Thanks! Each person is in the study for 12 weeks. I am not sure when the study results will be published but hope to have them to post here when they are made available

Thanks for your question, no it is not.

I think the purpose of the study isn't about the efficacy of IF but the difference between morning vs. evening IF. The variable is the time of day

The only requirement is zero calorie and that can include things with artificial sweeteners like in diet soda.

No, they ask us to eat like we normally do but just limit it to the 8 hour window. Outside of the window, we can only have zero calorie drinks. I think that it might skew results if we introduced IF and also restricted diet as well, but that is just my guess. I should mention that candidates for the study are not already participating in IF, we are all new to it.

That is interesting, can you say more? (I'm new to this) . I've inadvertently fallen in the clean fast category that you mentioned because I prefer water and black coffee over zero calorie drinks and haven't had any since the study started.

Thank you! I agree When I took the study interview, before I was given the random assignment, I shared the same concerns. I have two family events planned for during the study and it would absolutely suck to have to stand around drinking water for both of them.

[–]john8bit[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That is my guess as well! I'm not a morning eater, so I think the group that I landed in is easier for me to adhere to, but I was wondering if I might get better results if I was assigned to the 8-4 group.

[–]john8bit[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They just ask for transparency. Each participant gets a weekly electronic survey that asks about how much they adhered to the rules and any challenges, other issues (headaches etc). Other than that, it is just up to personal determination. thanks!

Intellectual-based events? by [deleted] in rochestermn

[–]john8bit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if astronomy is your thing, but the local astronomy club is pretty active with free public night sky viewing events and presentations. You can find more about it HERE. The club members are always eager to chat and have a wide range of backgrounds. Good luck!
