A Simple Strategy for Weight Loss
How to lose weight without changing what you eat, supported by science.
Losing weight can be hard. And complicated. There is so much conflicting information, and everyone tells you different things. So what is the best way to lose weight?
I don’t know either. But I do know one simple strategy that is backed by research, and has been shown to be effective for losing weight. This strategy is time-restricted feeding, or eating according to your personal circadian rhythm.
Anahad O’Connor, a New York Times reporter on health, fitness, and nutrition, explains,
“A growing body of research suggests that our bodies function optimally when we align our eating patterns with our circadian rhythms, the innate 24-hour cycles that tell our bodies when to wake up, when to eat and when to fall asleep. Studies show that chronically disrupting this rhythm — by eating late meals or nibbling on midnight snacks, for example — could be a recipe for weight gain and metabolic trouble.”
