Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Study Overview

This research investigated three different diet groups. Group 1 had a 4-hour eating window from 8 AM to 12 PM, consuming only 30% of their daily calories and fasting for 20 hours. Group 2 aimed to eat 70% of their usual daily calories, while Group 3 received standard care following a weight loss booklet.

2. Study Results

The study found that intermittent fasting with early time-restricted eating improved post-meal glucose metabolism more than calorie restriction after 6 months. However, these differences disappeared by the 18-month follow-up.

3. Conclusion

The study shows that intermittent fasting combined with early time-restricted eating can be effective. Yet, it's essential to choose a diet plan that you can maintain long-term, as the sustainability of your approach is crucial for lasting results.
