The Claim
In obese adults, a 12-month time-restricted eating intervention does not increase the risk of adverse events compared to a daily calorie restriction intervention alone.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
If you're an adult with obesity and you eat only during certain hours of the day for a year, it won't make you more likely to have bad side effects than if you just eat fewer calories every day.
