Baton Rouge, Louisiana. – Early timed eating is an effective way to lose weight and may be easier to maintain consistently than traditional calorie restriction.
A new study by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Baton Rouge, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine, describes timed meals early in the day and meals for 12 hours or more. compared with 90 years of obese adults. In this randomized clinical trial, people were asked to increase their exercise and reduce their caloric intake by 500 calories per day. I was instructed to eat only for hours. The normal diet group was able to eat for over 12 hours.
The JAMA Internal Medicine study helped inform new research questions about timing meals and reducing the amount of food eaten throughout the day. Pennington Biomedical and the University of Alabama at Birmingham have partnered again on a new study comparing time-restricted diets to calorie restriction to improve health in people who are underweight or overweight. Led by Dr. Martin and Leanne Redman, and Dr. Courtney Peterson of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Dr. Redman, professor and director of Pennington Biomedical’s Reproductive Endocrinology and Women’s Health Laboratory, says the new research is particularly groundbreaking.
Dr. John Kirwan, Executive Director of the Pennington Center for Biomedical Research, said: “This study is an important contribution to understanding how time-restricted eating can help individuals lose or maintain weight.”
The JAMA Internal Medicine Study and Pending Research are supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health.
