They conclude the following:
> Time-restricted eating, in the absence of other interventions, is not more effective in weight loss than eating throughout the day.
I believe this, with two additions: In my experience, time restricted eating confers weight loss via reduced calorie intake (in short, if I only eat until I’m full for a 6 hour period in a day, I simply don’t eat as much).
The other factor is the supposed ‘cellular regeneration’ kinds of claims, along the lines of “well, if your cells arent metabolizing fresh food, they have time to do clean—up processes and this is good for reasons”. I would be interested to learn more along these lines, but it makes sense that this wouldn’t be directly related to weight loss as such and would instead affect other factors (longevity, gut and skin health, etc)
