aka "intermittent fasting"

An example of time-restricted eating is if you choose to eat all your food for the day in an 8-hour period, such as from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The remaining 16 hours each day are the fasting period, during which no calories are consumed.

This same schedule would be repeated every day.

For some people, time-restricted eating will reduce the number of calories they eat in a day. However, if you eat higher-calorie foods, you may not end up eating less with time-restricted eating.

Some research shows that time-restricted eating may lead to weight loss, improve heart health and lower blood sugar.

Time-restricted eating is easy to do. You simply chose a period of time during which to eat all your calories each day. This period is usually 6–10 hours long.

Time-restricted eating or TRE only works if the total number of calories per day is reduced. So it has no effect if you eat the same amount of food during the 8 or 12 hour window you are "allowed" to eat.

Personally, I have gradually adopted to a modified version of TRE, but not because I want to follow a strict diet. I normally wake up with a slight neusea, so I don't have any appetite the first hours of the day. So I wait to eat until I'm really hungry.

If I go to bed hungry, I cannot sleep, so I need to have a meal during the last couple of hours of my day. Thjis way, I normally end up eating for 12 hours, but since I don't eat less than I used to, I cannot use TRE to lose weight.

To me, it's not an option to go hungry. It kills my motivation to do constructive things and only makes me think more about food than what I should.

Sure, but not necessarily the oly one. Another could be to reduce the risk of getting dementia.

TRF allows the body time to recycle; and degrade harmful proteins and other substances within neurons. Alzheimer’s is characterized by the loss and degradation of brain neurons, so any process that can help keep existing neurons functioning will decrease the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
