The Claim
In obese adults who completed a 12-week supervised time-restricted eating (8-hour eating window) or 15% caloric-restriction program, self-reported weight remained stable at 1, 3, and 6 months post-intervention in the time-restricted eating group, while the caloric-restriction group showed a 1.6 kg weight loss at 1 month (p = 0.02) but returned to baseline weight by 3 months.
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.
People with obesity who tried time-restricted eating kept their weight steady after finishing the program, but those who cut calories lost about 1.6 kilos a month later—though they gained it back within three months.
See the scientific wording
In obese adults who completed a 12‑week supervised time‑restricted eating (8‑hour eating window) or 15 % caloric‑restriction program, self‑reported weight remained stable across 1, 3, and 6 months after the intervention for the time‑restricted eating group, whereas the caloric‑restriction group lost an average of 1.6 kg at 1 month (p = 0.02) but returned to baseline by 3 months.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that people who ate within an 8-hour window kept their weight stable after the program, while those who cut calories lost a little at first but gained it back within 3 months—just like the claim says.
