Time-Restricted Eating Provides Modest Weight Loss Benefits for Adults with Obesity and Prediabetes

Newswise — A Johns Hopkins Medicine study reports evidence that time-restricted eating (TRE) - a form of intermittent fasting that involves only eating during a consistent, daily 8- to 10-hour window - can cause modest weight loss in adults with both obesity and prediabetes or those with diet-controlled type 2 diabetes.

The National Institutes of Health and American Heart Association-supported study, described July 27 in the journal Obesity , represents the latest findings from ongoing research led by Daisy Duan, M.D. , an assistant professor of medicine and the study's primary author, on how time-restricted eating without caloric restriction may change the body's weight and other functions.
