The new study-led by Nisa Marisa Maruthur takes us closer to identifying the underlying mechanism of time-restricted eating (TRE). It shows that TRE is effective for weight loss because it helps people eat less.
In a randomized-controlled trial, people following time-restricted eating lost similar weight to those eating the same diet without restrictions. This suggests that the weight loss may be due to eating fewer calories overall.
Most participants in the study were Black women with obesity and diabetes. The carefully controlled study design included providing controlled meals with identical nutrients, highlighting the effectiveness of time-restricted eating.
