I found it interesting that the mice get to take the weekend off.

Interesting study. I think our bodies need rest from digesting to work more efficiently (in fact, I notice that it's nearly impossible for me to lose weight if I'm skimping on sleep). Anyway, it makes sense that they'd be trimmer having a longer break from eating.

Gotta love this part, though it contradicts what Judith Beck claims about weekends. Maybe it's because the dieters were eating too often in between.
Though I've found that if I'm busy, I can eat even less often on weekends.Researchers gave some of the time-restricted mice a respite on weekends, allowing them free access to high-fat meals for these two days. These mice had less fat mass and gained less weight than the mice given a freely available, high-fat diet the whole time. In fact, the mice that were freely fed just on weekends looked much the same as mice given access to food 9 or 12 hours a day for seven days a week, suggesting that the diet can withstand some temporary interruptions.
