People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window were slightly more likely to feel hungry at night compared to those who only followed the DASH diet.

Scientific Claim

Nighttime hunger was reported more frequently in stage 1 hypertensive patients using time-restricted eating (5.4%) compared to those on DASH diet alone (2.6%) during a 6-week trial.

Original Statement

“Nighttime hunger was more frequent in the DASH + TRE group (5.405%) than the DASH group (2.600%).”
