Macro partitioning
Time-Restricted Eating (TRE), defined as restricting daily energy intake to a window of ≤10 hours, reduces obesity, inflammation, and insulin resistance in humans independent of caloric restriction.
To try Time-Restricted Eating, compress your daily eating into a 10-hour window, such as 10 AM to 8 PM. You do not need to count calories or change what you eat, just when you eat it. Ensure your last meal is finished by 8 PM. This strategy has been shown to improve insulin resistance and reduce inflammation in adults, independent of how much total food is consumed.
Reducing the time window for energy intake from 12 to 14 to ≤8–10 hours/day reduces obesity, inflammation and insulin resistance in both rodent models and humans, independent of any deliberate change in total energy intake and/or food composition.

More from this paper
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves insulin sensitivity and glycaemic control in reproductive-aged women with overweight/obesity with greater time efficiency and adherence than traditional moderate-intensity endurance training.Moderate
- The combination of HIIT and TRE may induce synergistic improvements in glycaemic control and insulin sensitivity compared to either intervention alone, though this remains unproven.Weak
