Beside fasting, when do you eat also matters

Post by AlbertY »

We often assume nightshift workers eat more and excess food is the root cause of their bad health. A meta-analysis found no significant difference in total caloric intake between day- and night-shift workers.

This research kinda consistent with some former time-restricted feeding (TRF) study: Limiting food intake to the middle of the day decreased body weight or body fat, fasting glucose and insulin levels, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and inflammation and produced mild caloric restriction and weight loss, without calorie counting. Similarly, metabolic markers were improved in a group of people eating an isocaloric diet with a bigger breakfast and a smaller dinner, and type 2 diabetic patients under hypocaloric diet obtained better metabolic outcome by eating most of their daily allotment in the first half of the day rather than divided into six meals throughout the day. On the contrary, restricting food intake to the late afternoon or evening either produced mostly null results or worsened glucose levels after eating, b cell responsiveness, blood pressure, and lipid levels.

Don't eat too much at night.
