People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window while following the DASH diet saw their BMI drop by 1.3 points over six weeks, while those who only followed the DASH diet didn't see a change.

Scientific Claim

Body mass index decreased by 1.30 kg/m² in stage 1 hypertensive patients after 6 weeks of DASH diet combined with time-restricted eating, compared to no significant change in the DASH-only group.

Original Statement

“BMI (kg/m2) 23.610 (2.790) to 22.310 (2.560) in DASH + TRE group; 24.896 ± 3.302 to 24.950 ± 4.132 in DASH group.”
