When healthy young men only eat between noon and 8pm for five days straight, it doesn't change how their insulin levels respond after eating a high-fat meal
Scientific Claim
Five days of time-restricted feeding (12:00-20:00 eating window) does not significantly affect postprandial insulin levels in healthy young adult males aged 22±1.3 years with BMI 26.0±0.38 kg/m²

Source Excerpt
“Figure 3B indicated that the insulin concentration was not significantly different between the trials (trial × time, p = 0.564; trial, p = 0.558; time, p = 0.027; Fig. 3B).”
Evidence from Studies
Supporting Evidence (1)
The study measured insulin levels after a high-fat meal in 8 healthy young males. The time course and trial effects showed no significant differences (p=0.564 and p=0.558 respectively). This is a direct measurement from the study's data.
