More research is needed on intermittent fasting
While the time-restricted eating holds promise, there is a need for more research.
- There haven't been studies with humans that lasted longer than a few months.
- The gut microbiome actually changes in mice that restrict their eating to an eight-hour window, so they digest nutrients differently. It remains to be seen if it is possible in humans.
- Research suggests that people practicing intermittent fasting eat more before and after their fasting days and don't receive calorie-reducing benefits.
- There may be a potential danger for people who struggle with binge-eating disorder or anorexia.

Food at the right time
Many of the human body’s processes are tied to our circadian rhythms.
Eating food at the right time can nurture us, and healthy food at the wrong time can be junk food because it gets stored as fat instead of being used as fuel.
