Very happy to see our work comparing time-restricted eating (#TRE) to consultations with an Accredited Practicing Dietitian (#APD) out now, with a piece on @conversationEDU out today coauthored by @BrookeDevlin (if you want the short, punchy version! - link below). 1/6
If anyone wants to have some additional motivation to train (in Melbourne) this winter? See below 👇

Nothing gripes me more than seeing lean mass being presented as muscle mass when talking about weight loss #notthesame 🤬 but also no acknowledgement that lean mass increases with weight gain! So how about we instead focus on physical function over body composition #ECO2025
Millions of people living with #diabetes navigate daily challenges at home, work, and school, requiring constant self-management, affecting both physical and #mental health. With the right support, people with diabetes can thrive and lead healthy, fulfilling lives. #WDD2024
Say it louder for those at the back! 👏🏼
DXA doesn't measure muscle. It measures lean tissue. This could all be water... also something DXA measures! If you don't understand the method, don't cite the paper.
So pleased to see this work led by @ikouw finally in print!

When you go to submit reviewer comments and you’re reviewer #2 🫠🫣 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
How to get the adrenaline going on a Friday evening… submit a grant with 3 minutes to go before it closes 😅 never again!! (Famous last words!)
Hi #AcademicTwitter, WWYD if you had 2nd reviews come back, and you have an additional 5 (yes, five!) reviewers on top of the 2 in the first review which provided constructive comments that we responded to, and subsequently “we think it’s better suited for another journal”…Huh?!
In response to the misleading claims about TRE last week, I and 33 other international experts wrote a public letter to highlight the critical flaws in the un-peer-reviewed data that received so much attention. You can read our response here: drive.google.com/file/d/1sMUMe-…
Partnering with consumers and community members is imperative if we want to improve our healthcare system and research impact. We’re proud to present this @TheLancetEndo paper on how this can be achieved with the #diabetes community. thelancet.com/journals/landi…
Loved having #Nutrition PhD students from @WUR present with us today at @ACUmedia. What a wonderful group of students and I’m glad we could show you around our new Metabolic Chamber as well as how much Melbourne weather can change from day to day!
Anyone else annoyed by “You are what you eat” on Netflix? There are many points… but especially when DXA lean mass is proposed to be equal to muscle mass. Hint, it’s not, lean mass is all mass which isn’t bone or fat so also includes fluid and organ masses as well as muscle 🤦🏻♀️
