10-hour eating window yields benefits, according to study

Eating within a 10-hour window boosts mood, energy, and hunger, according to new study from the largest community research project in the United Kingdom. Limiting your food intake to a certain period of time, or intermittent fasting (IF), is a well-liked weight-loss strategy. You can set out 10 hours each day for eating, and then fast for the remaining 14 hours during that time.
The trial outcomes were reported at the European Nutrition Conference by King’s College London researchers. Dr Sarah Berry from King’s College London and chief scientist at ZOE was quoted in a report as saying, “This is the largest study outside of a tightly controlled clinic to show that intermittent fasting can improve your health in a real-world setting. What's really exciting is that the findings show that you don't have to be very restrictive to see positive results. A ten-hour eating window, manageable for most people, improved mood, energy levels and hunger. We found for the first time that those who practised time-restricted eating, but were not consistent day to day, did not have the same positive health effects as those who were dedicated every day.”
37,545 users of the ZOE Health app finished the three-week core intervention session. For the first week, participants were instructed to eat as usual; after that, they were to observe a ten-hour window for two weeks. Over 36,231 participants chose to continue for a few more weeks, and 27,371 users met the criteria for being very involved.
