People with mild high blood pressure who ate within an 8-hour window while following the DASH diet lost about 1.3 kilograms of body fat over six weeks, while those who only followed the DASH diet didn't lose fat.

Scientific Claim

Fat mass decreased by 1.26 kg in stage 1 hypertensive patients following 6 weeks of DASH diet with time-restricted eating, while the DASH-only group showed no significant change.
