Can Time-Restricted Eating Help With Weight Loss?
You are when you eat. A growing number of researchers say limiting the hours during the day when you eat, focusing more on the timing of meals instead of calories, can help dieters burn more fat, improve their health and lose weight.
Lorna Shelton, 58, was not very lively this time last year. The Centralia, Washington native weighed nearly 250 pounds and had trouble walking.
“I had to have both knees replaced, I was walking with a cane,” said Shelton.
A traditional approach to losing weight, including substituting fast food for cooked meals and moderate intensity exercise, helped her to lose weight — but not enough.
“After I had gotten 40 pounds off, the next ten pounds seemed to take forever, I needed to do something different,” said Shelton.
