This study says that skipping meals at certain times doesn't just make you eat less — it trains your body's internal clock and metabolism to burn fat better and recover smarter, like a workout for your cells.
By eating only during the day, mice got better at switching their energy source to fat and their body’s internal clock got stronger — proving IF is like a tune-up for your metabolism and sleep-wake cycle.
