You’ve gathered all possible information on ‘what’ you should eat, but perhaps you don’t know the ‘when’ of it. Now a new study claims changing eating patterns and time can impact how much body weight you’ll lose.

It doesn’t exactly tell you the ‘right’ time. It simply suggests changing the time that you regularly eat your meals. For example it suggests delaying your breakfast by 90 minutes and eating your dinner 90 minutes early.

The pilot study, published in the Journal of Nutritional Sciences, put half their participants on a 10-week ‘time-restricted feeding’. The participants had to have their breakfast 90 minutes after their regular time and dinner 90 minutes early. The other half continued to eat as they did. There were no restrictions placed on what the participants could eat, only when. And they had to maintain proper dairy.
