When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, their bodies burn fat much faster while they're fasting compared to when they eat throughout the day

Scientific Claim

Five days of time-restricted feeding (12:00-20:00 eating window) increases fasting fat oxidation rate by approximately 250% compared to a control feeding schedule (8:00-20:00) in healthy young adult males aged 22±1.3 years with BMI 26.0±0.38 kg/m²

Original Statement

“The fasting fat oxidation rate of the time-restricted feeding trial was significantly higher than that of the control trial (p < 0.001)”
