The Eight-Hour Window Left a One-Year Trace
Participants retained modest weight-loss differences a year after a 12-week time-restricted eating program.
Summary
Participants retained modest weight-loss differences a year after a 12-week time-restricted eating program.
A University of Granada-led study followed 99 adults with overweight or obesity after all groups received Mediterranean-diet guidance. Those assigned to eight-hour eating windows maintained more weight loss at one year than participants eating across 12 hours or more, and the early-window group preserved more fat loss. The small intervention supports durability of a modest effect; it does not show that one schedule suits every patient or replaces individualized care.
