The study, published online in JAMA Internal Medicine by Dylan A. Lowe, PhD, also of UCSF, involved 116 participants who were randomized to a 12-week regimen of either three structured meals per day or time-restricted eating, with instructions to eat only between 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm and to completely abstain from eating at other times.

Despite the lack of evidence I intend to continue my time restricted eating strategy. I do not eat anything between the hours of 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM.

That’s actually a good restriction! I’m surprised at the number of people who actually get up in the middle of the night and have a snack.
My food addiction was never that bad. My nicotine habit however was very bad with the waking up in the middle of the night for a cigarette.
Wow! How long have you been nicotine free?
I quit six or seven times then for good at age 28
Nearly 40 years!
