Calorie counting better for weight loss than intermittent fasting Fasting WeightLoss Food Heart Obesity PhysicalActivity Research Sleep JAHA_AHA American_Heart
Obesity and overweight are two well-defined modifiable risk factors for chronic illness impacting over 70% of Americans. Experimental and mechanistic research showed that the timing of food consumption might modulate metabolic function and lower body weight. In particular, time-restricted eating, which involves restricting food consumption to four to 12 hours per day without reducing calorie intake, has been linked to enhanced body weight homeostasis and is a recommended weight loss technique.
About the study In the present study, researchers assessed the longitudinal connection between the time interval between the first and last meal of the day and associated weight trajectories. Participants recorded the time through a 24-hour wheel for each meal and chose the meal type and anticipated portion size from a menu. Emails, in-app reminders, and short message service text messages asked the users to utilize the app as often as possible during the initial four weeks after installing it. With respect to sleep duration, the participants noted the time they fell asleep the night before and the time they woke up on the current day on the 24-hour wheel.
Results Electronic consent and the completion of baseline questionnaires determined enrollment eligibility. Participants were then provided with directions for downloading the Daily24 mobile application. The final eligible sample consisted of 547 individuals. In the EHRs of the 547 individuals, the average number of weight measures was 23.7 overall, 21.3 prior to enrolment, and 3.4 in the six months following enrollment. The average duration of follow-up for weights reported in the EHR was 6.
