When people ate only between noon and 8pm for 5 days, their bodies burned more fat during fasting and after meals compared to eating from 8am to 8pm. But it didn't change blood fat levels or other health markers after eating fatty food.
Surprising Findings
Increased fat burning didn't translate to lower blood fats after meals
Most people assume that burning more fat during digestion would clear fats from the bloodstream faster, but this study shows these are separate processes
Practical Takeaways
If you're doing time-restricted eating for fat burning, track your fat oxidation separately from blood fat levels — they might not improve together
