A randomized controlled trial found that time-restricted eating did not lead to weight loss or improved glucose regulation in comparison to a usual eating pattern. The study involved 41 adults with obesity and prediabetes or diet-controlled diabetes. Both groups followed a specific diet plan with no adjustment in calories. While time-restricted eating did not have a weight loss advantage in this study, it has shown benefits in reducing energy intake and improving metabolic risk factors in other research. Incorporating time-restricted eating may simplify weight loss interventions by eliminating the need for calorie counting, making it accessible to a wider population.
