Intermittent fasting is being adopted by many people to control their weight. Among them, the 16:8 method is quite popular because it does not require counting calories in each meal or completely eliminating a food group.
With this method, individuals eat during an 8-hour window each day, for example from 10 am to 6 pm, and fast for the remaining 16 hours. However, does shortening the eating schedule actually lead to more effective weight loss while simultaneously improving cardiovascular and metabolic health?
The study, published in the journal Nutrition & Diabetes, synthesized data from five previous studies to assess the impact of time-limited meal times on weight and other health indicators.
