Q&A

What is the difference between fasting and time-restricted feeding?

Fasting refers to not eating, while time-restricted feeding involves restricting one's eating window to a specific phase of each 24-hour day.

What are the benefits of time-restricted feeding?

Time-restricted feeding can lead to weight loss, fat loss, muscle maintenance, and improved organ health.

What tools or techniques can mitigate the negative effects of strict feeding schedules?

Certain supplements or interventions can help the body mimic the effects of fasting even outside of strict feeding schedules.

Does time-restricted feeding impact cognitive function and mood?

Yes, time-restricted feeding can influence cognition and mood.

Can time-restricted feeding impact lifespan?

Yes, time-restricted feeding has the potential to extend lifespan.
