Study Highlights Effective Meal Timing for Sustainable Weight Loss
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Medical Xpress
A meta-analysis by Bond University researchers suggests that meal timing strategies, such as time-restricted eating and reducing meal frequency, are linked to modest weight loss over 12 weeks. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, reviewed 29 trials with 2,485 adults and found small weight reductions associated with these strategies. However, the clinical significance remains unclear due to potential biases and limitations in the studies. Further research with larger samples and standardized methods is recommended to better understand the long-term effects.
