It's About Timing: Contrasting the Metabolic Effects of Early vs. Late Time-Restricted Eating in Humans.

Purpose Of Review: Time-restricted eating (TRE), a form of intermittent fasting, restricts feeding time across the day, imposing a daily 'eating window'. The time of day when the eating window occurs could result in differential metabolic effects. Here, we describe recent intervention studies in humans assessing the metabolic consequences of an early- (i.

Meal timing across the day modulates daily energy intake in adult patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background/objectives: We assessed the association between the timing of meals across the day with diet composition and metabolic parameters in patients with type-2 diabetes (T2D).

Subjects/methods: Eighty adults (55.2 ± 6.
