Time-restricted dieting no better than caloric restriction alone: study
Researchers have investigated the efficacy and safety of the time-restricted approach in patients with obesity
Time-restricted dieting is no better than daily calorie restriction alone for weight loss or reducing metabolic risk factors in patients with obesity, a small trial shows.
The findings suggest that although limiting food consumption to an eight-hour window each day is still effective, the Chinese researchers say the benefits seen with this approach are primarily driven by caloric deficits.
