According to pre-clinical studies, time-restricted eating (TRE) can reduce body weight, improve glucose tolerance, protect from hepatosteatosis, increase metabolic flexibility, reduce atherogenic lipids and blood pressure, and improve gut function and cardiometabolic health.

However, these studies are limited in number, sample size, and study duration. [2]
