"So time-restricted feeding is an eating regime where you restrict, usually without focusing on what you eat or how much you eat, you channel instead your focus into the time you eat and you keep that to a small window, or at least smaller than 24 hours, which presumably we could all say we eat within 24 hours, maybe not at night time, but if we wake up and go to the fridge, who knows. And in terms of what that window, that eating window should be, when it should be, how long it should be, there is not a consensus among study designs."
