Short-term time-restricted eating (8-hour window) improves 24-hour glucose homeostasis (reduced area under the curve) compared to an extended 12-hour eating window, despite identical food intake.
Compressing your eating window to 8 hours (e.g., 10 AM to 6 PM) can significantly improve your daily blood glucose control, even if you eat the exact same amount of food as you would over 12 hours. This is achieved by shifting meal times to delay breakfast and finish dinner earlier, which helps manage glucose spikes.
From continuous glucose monitoring, 24-hour total area under the curve was reduced following TRE... p = 0.001.
Why this rating
RCT with continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, objective and robust, though short duration.
